[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] A man has been arrested in connection with a series of shootings that have killed at least six people, injured two police officers and may have extended across multiple cities.
Shane James, 34, was booked in Travis County Jail in the early hours of Wednesday on four counts of capital murder as well as three other out of jurisdiction crimes that are not specified.
The first reported incident occurred just before 11 a.m. at a high school in the Texas capital, where James allegedly shot an Austin Independent School District police officer.
Shortly after that, authorities believe that he shot and killed a man and a woman at a home in the southern part of the city.
At 5pm, a male cyclist was shot, also in the southern part of the city. That shooting was also linked to James. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries.
Two hours later, a second Austin police officer was wounded by the suspect when someone called 911 to report a burglary in a home in the southwestern part of the city. That prompted a high-speed chase which resulted in James being arrested. When officers returned to that home, they found two more people dead inside.
By Tuesday night, officials announced that the same suspect was involved in the 'grisly' murder of a couple in their 50s whose bodies were found stuffed in a small bedroom in San Antonio, some 80 miles from Austin.
The gunman came to the attention of officers when he shot a school resource officer in the leg close to the football field of Northeast Early College High School just before noon. This prompted a school lockdown which lasted for four hours.
Less than an hour later, the gunman went to a home in South Austin and shot a handyman who was sitting in a car. The suspect shot through the window.
After the gunfire broke out, a woman came outside who was then chased by the gunman down the street. He caught her, and killed her, Fox Austin report.
The suspect returned to the handyman's car, threw his body to the pavement, and stole the vehicle.
The next incident occurred around 5pm when a cyclist was shot and wounded. He was rushed to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
Officers caught up with the gunman after receiving reports of a burglary at the Austral Loop in the southwest part of Austin just before 7pm. The gunman shot and injured a second Austin police officer before fleeing. The officer's injuries are not considered life-threatening.
A 12-year-veteran office shot at the suspect but didn't hit him. She has been placed on administrative leave, as per protocol. The suspect fled the scene and left police on a high-speed chase. The chase ended after around 15 minutes with the suspect crashing his car at the intersection of State Highway 45 and FM 1826.
He was armed when police arrested him. Investigators discovered that the suspect had a warrant out for causing injury to a family member.
When police returned to the home where the burglary had been reported, they found the bodies of two more people.
