17-year-old arrested, ID's as 2nd suspect in Austin mass shooting that left 1 dead and 13 injured

A 17-year-old high school student has been arrested and identified as the second suspect in a weekend mass shooting in an entertainment district in Austin that left one tourist dead and 13 others injured, police said. Austin Police Department officials said the suspect was arrested on Monday at a high school in Killeen, Texas, about 70 miles north of Austin. Authorities said the Killeen Intermediate School District police helped Austin officers take the teenage suspect, who was attending summer classes, into custody. The teenager was booked on suspicion of aggravated assault. Police expect prosecutors to charge him as an adult and that more charges, including murder, are likely to be filed against him and a minor under the age of 17 who was arrested shortly after the shooting on Saturday, officials said. Austin Interim Police Chief Joseph Chacon said both suspects are suspected of opening fire when a dispute broke out on the street between two groups of people.
