Man, I’ve been here so many times. I’ve lived in the ATX area my whole 28 years of life, and I didn’t hear about this at all. What a horrible situation.
Leftist Austin. Is a a wanna-be sanctuary city. Look, most Texans wish Austin was in anther hemisphere. But one thing I did like was the bat caves and natural beauty surrounding that sick city.
I got pulled over and caught with some 🌳 this very day and the cop that was about to search me runs back up throws me my license back and says “you get off this time. Get rid of the weed.” And takes tf off ig to this call ig. Edit: IM WELL AWARE THAT WEED IS DECRIMINALIZED. It was just a funny story. I’ve lived here for over 12yrs now I’m well acquainted with the law. Thank you.
@@PocketDrummerI have some law enforcement friends who feel the same way. It’s such a waste of time money and resources when they could be doing something more productive than being tied up in a traffic stop behind 3.5 wrapped in cellophane.
This is why when you call 911 in Austin, you need to be dying, or holding up traffic for them to even send someone out. Had a customer at the tire shop tell me he was gonna cut me into pieces (literally) after we wouldn’t work on his car, because the guy was sketchy and we had suspicion the car was stolen. Called 911, they wouldn’t send anyone, but right across the street at chilis, a cop was parked outside probably at the bar
They don’t want to respond to actual crime and would rather pull someone over for having the registration sticker on the wrong side of the windshield (that actually happened to me).
@@crisc4446no, that's just what happens when you have greedy corporations running the state, trying to make money off of you at every living, waking moment of your life
For those who don't know. This is a very influential area of Austin. Literally millionaires live 2 to 3 minutes from here. Cops will never respond so quickly en mass to the east or south side of Austin.
Sad times. I was in sixth grade when the arboretum opened and my Dad worked in one of the office buildings. Times have really changed and not for the good.
@@richhoops2413 brings back great memories. UR Cooks, original Amy’s Ice Cream and Beijing at the arboretum. The Academy off of 183 was an old style Walmart and North of the Border Mexican Restaurant.

I moved there in ‘92 and loved it. Built a career tattooing on 6th Street when 6th Street was THE place to be. I left in ‘09 because ‘weird’ had turns into liberal ‘shithole;’ and every time I visit it seems worse and re-validates my exodus.

I live SoCo in Austin and I didn’t know we even had this many cops. Last year I called the police because homeless man became irate after I “walked too close to him” on the sidewalk on my way home. He angrily followed me to my apartment and walked around my parking lot pounding on the door every few minutes. I call the cops and they basically told me they don’t have nearly enough officers on duty to send one for that problem. 😅
My friend was in the mall when it happened, said he swathe gunman and heard the shots before all the staff ushered everybody into the back of the store
For people who don’t know, i was right by there at Trader Joe’s just across the street, there was a shooting in the arboretum, 2 were killed, one of which being the shooter. One other was in critical condition.

Conceal carry folks. The classes are worthwhile in the education alone. Doesn't take long to learn proper use, carry, and storage of a firearm. Always thankful for cops either way.
Reals tire service on Sam bass rd is badass, they give you nice used tires for like 65 dollars + install, they do it all in 10 minutes good local people
@LeahHa8 naw, way before. When big companies started dropping $$$$$ for everyone to look the other way. Once they sold out their mandate, like no building over 4 stories is allowed. Which went out the window with real life kicked in. Greed and vanity will always win in this world. Proverbs, sayings, phrases, and catchphrases, all those cliché quotes. They are 100% accurate, it was poetry or early rap. 😀 It's because they hold the truth. It is just some truths are easier than others. Therefore a reminder, that absolute power corrupts absolutely and money talks, bs walks.
Was working at that Target across 183 from the Arboretum-I normally take a route that leads me right along the frontage road, and I normally go over there to get some sort of food just so I’m not dying. But that day I was late and stuck in traffic at 5. Crazy stuff to realize that if I wasn’t late, I would’ve been there right at the time of shooting.
Because they thought it was still active shooting. It is smarter to have them and NOT need them than need them, and not have them. They also need to take role calls of who was there and statements to build the scene. It used to be they could sit literally at Rudy's near the Arboretum for more than 4 hours. I kid you not, I arrived with coworkers back in the day and they have been there for a while. Like eight cops or more. We were there for four hours and left and they were still there. Lol they also use to have like four cops to pull over and give them a ticket. I bet they miss those old days of Mayberry Barney Fif lives. Now they have to learn to be real city cops and live that hard life.
🤨👈🏽 Idiocracy confirmed. Logic fail. Emergencies require urgency. Also none of the gibberish that you stated was coherent or articulate. Next time speak elementary English, at least.
Well let me tell you something oh man I grew up in the east side of Austin Texas. We see this stuff every day back in the 90s and all the homeboys will tell you that you on the comments God bless you guys God bless the people in Austin and God bless, the police officers, including fire departments and EMS
@@Lamborghini_Alex yeah me and growing up on the east side was not good especially growing up on East third back in the 90s you will have to be inside your property when the street light turns on a growing up they’re hearing all the shootings and cops EMS including star flights or how they say it police choppers flying really low searching for the bad guys was really not cool to see but I’m glad that I left the east side
I am a native Texan currently living in Austin. Be glad you are in CA. The crazy Republicans who run Texas are out of control. If l had the money, l would move to California.
I’m so glad all those police officers showed up so they can all spectate the shooter same as civilians. We need people with more courage if they’re gonna wear that uniform. Protect yourself and loved ones, don’t rely on enforcement
I lived in Austin in the early 90's for a few years. It was a wonderful time to live there. Never heard of things like this and you could walk alone on the streets late night.
That’s A LIE! My son accidentally called 911 just this summer, and in just some seconds, there was a lady who answered right away, and asking if we need help and she will send it as soon as possible. I’m living in Austin for almost 30 years from East Coast, and this city is the best place I’ve ever lived to in my almost 60 years of age, period.
@@cliffm8846 yeah well… north austin, travis county, 1 week ago, we called 911 at 3:45 am after gunshots outside and screaming and an obvious scene of tragedy and were on an automated hold recording for 7 mins and 39 seconds until an operator spoke to us. Thats very rude and ignorant of you to call someone a liar after they literally experienced this less than a week ago.
@@kevintheboxer27 youre right. Im from houston and have been living in austin for 3 yrs now. But my recent experience calling 911 in austin after a shooting and awful scene outside our apt at 3:45 am was being on an automatic hold recording for 7 mins and 39 secs before an operator spoke with us.
turns out my friend and i were at the arboretum the same day. the only thing that got us away from that area was i had to drop my friend off for a work shift for 5 o’clock.
The authorities in Texas must not allow it to become a California where everyone does what they want without having any consequences or punishment for their actions, with a heavy hand and without fear of what they will say.
Texas govt got rid of that love back in 2021 www.austintexas.gov/department/open-carry#:~:text=Beginning%20September%201%2C%202021%2C%20HB1927,have%20a%20license%20to%20carry.
@@justinshroba2891We all know this, but too many people without enough common sense. or training own them. New Year's Eve at 2pm my car was hit with a stray bullet as I was driving on Mopac. The way it hit the hood of my vehicle leads me to believe it was just shot up in the air randomly. Now you dont need a license to carry but some idiots don't even know that you need to have it registered.
That's what my granddaughter's high School looked like last week in Adkins TX head teachers and students hear gunshots my granddaughter somebody set off firecrackers. So proud of my granddaughter she didn't panic at all she kept her cool the students that were close to her she kept them calm she talked to them and reassured them that everything would be fine she stayed on the phone with us as much as she could when they release the students we were so happy to see her safe and sound that's when she finally let go and cried.
@@MrMakeItHappen1 It's pretty much anyone who is voting democrat is directly at fault for what Austin and Houston have become.

If you think that’s intense you ain’t seen nothing yet compared to a 10-85 (Code cover) in nyc. Literally 100s of cops can amass in under 3 minutes A massive wall of blue and vehicles of every unimaginable description.😌
I was born and raise in atx now i love out in coastal areas i loved the old austin now people have chats about guys doing bad sht and taxes traffic. I will remain in peace here now ...x atx ❤
Quick story. So a week before this happened, I was in a store there and a man walked in open carrying. The clerk told him they didn't allow firearms in the store. He semi-complained stating there were no signs on the entrance, but went out and disarmed himself. So I made sure to walk by him and stated to him, "that's why I conceal carry." Next time I go to this particular store, I will be sure to remind them about making a customer remove his firearm, and about the nut job that was there shooting up the place a few days later.
Be safe out there. Concealed carry seems like the only way to stay safe these days. Never know when there is a bad actor around. In a city with a Million + people the 1 in 1,000,000 odds happen daily.
Damn whats going on in Austin man i remember 2013-2018 was so lit and not really crimes and stuff everywhere was chill in Austin now ppl getting shot on 6th street more homeless ppl its sad
This is probably the entire police department for Austin with all of their shortages. No cop in their right mind would want to serve those voters. That town is a shell of its former self. Very sad
Yes, no one wants to sign up to protect people who completely disregard and disrespect officers. I don't know anyone who would want to go through what officers go through.
Everyone blaming this on the size of Austin has forgotten what happened on the UT campus August 1, 1966. It’s the whole reason SWAT teams became a thing.
Raised in and around austin all my life was stabbed at 14 years old and rt down the street from the hospital and now for a fact that east side and south side parts of austin get very slow response if any help at all from the police than other areas. Send my sympathy for anyone injured in this event u am here in austin and this is the first i seen or heard of this
@connieflores7362 there was a shooting that broke out at one of the stores. A few people were shot, and I believe to or dead after the fact. One of the deceased included the shooter.
Aaa d this is why we have a 2nd Amendment and CCW., exactly like commenter said, you cant always sit and wait around for several hours for 911 to show up.
Soo they probably discovered a trafficking ring and all came to… investigate, and make sure the roads were blocked in case anyone tried to escape… I mean bad guys of course. 😳🤐
I never understood why they call every unit and have them stay there way after the crime is done. Like all 100 cops on duty just stand around the crime scene for 6 hours. Never made any sense to me. If you’re a criminal this is the best time to commit crimes. It’s gonna take forever to get a unit out. So dumb police need to be restructured
Man, I don't even recognize Austin anymore. It used to be a badass weekend hangout when ai was younger. It's turned into L.A. There's hardly anything Texas left about it

For those wondering he killed one guy, wounded another, then shot himself in the head.. not cool

Conceal carry folks. The classes are worthwhile in the education alone. Doesn't take long to learn proper use, carry, and storage of a firearm. Always thankful for cops either way.
Stay safe out there
So true
This is a standard stop in Round Rock
I have seen that numerous times in round rock.😮😮😮😮😂😂😂😂😂
I live in Round Rock on Sam Bass Road
Reals tire service on Sam bass rd is badass, they give you nice used tires for like 65 dollars + install, they do it all in 10 minutes good local people
😂😂😂lmao if you kno you kno. But this is facts
It's only going to get worse, just as it has been. Austin 🍒 was popped in my eyes about 6 years ago.
😮😮😮😮😮😂
Right when Adler took office.
@LeahHa8 naw, way before. When big companies started dropping $$$$$ for everyone to look the other way. Once they sold out their mandate, like no building over 4 stories is allowed. Which went out the window with real life kicked in. Greed and vanity will always win in this world. Proverbs, sayings, phrases, and catchphrases, all those cliché quotes. They are 100% accurate, it was poetry or early rap. 😀 It's because they hold the truth. It is just some truths are easier than others. Therefore a reminder, that absolute power corrupts absolutely and money talks, bs walks.
Was working at that Target across 183 from the Arboretum-I normally take a route that leads me right along the frontage road, and I normally go over there to get some sort of food just so I’m not dying. But that day I was late and stuck in traffic at 5. Crazy stuff to realize that if I wasn’t late, I would’ve been there right at the time of shooting.
Glad he didn’t find yourself next to the shooter or around them when you were looking for lunch
Did someone holler " Texas BBQ?"
😅😅😅😅😅😅
Why do they need every cop there is there? Thats usless
Because they thought it was still active shooting. It is smarter to have them and NOT need them than need them, and not have them. They also need to take role calls of who was there and statements to build the scene. It used to be they could sit literally at Rudy's near the Arboretum for more than 4 hours. I kid you not, I arrived with coworkers back in the day and they have been there for a while. Like eight cops or more. We were there for four hours and left and they were still there. Lol they also use to have like four cops to pull over and give them a ticket. I bet they miss those old days of Mayberry Barney Fif lives. Now they have to learn to be real city cops and live that hard life.
Are you serious?
🤨👈🏽 Idiocracy confirmed. Logic fail. Emergencies require urgency. Also none of the gibberish that you stated was coherent or articulate. Next time speak elementary English, at least.
Well let me tell you something oh man I grew up in the east side of Austin Texas. We see this stuff every day back in the 90s and all the homeboys will tell you that you on the comments God bless you guys God bless the people in Austin and God bless, the police officers, including fire departments and EMS
Stay safe out there Anthony. Glad to see you made it out with no injuries from the 90’s. I heard similar stories about the east side.
@@Lamborghini_Alex yeah me and growing up on the east side was not good especially growing up on East third back in the 90s you will have to be inside your property when the street light turns on a growing up they’re hearing all the shootings and cops EMS including star flights or how they say it police choppers flying really low searching for the bad guys was really not cool to see but I’m glad that I left the east side
the boba shop where this happened is my favorite chain in all of austin, i feel so bad for everyone working in that area :(
They call me cuban pete im the king of the rumba beat when i wave my maracas i go chick chicky boom,chick chick chicky boom
That's why I'm not leaving California. I don't care how big the houses are. I'm NOT getting the death penalty for weed😅😅.
I am a native Texan currently living in Austin. Be glad you are in CA. The crazy Republicans who run Texas are out of control. If l had the money, l would move to California.
You wouldn’t tho lol it’s decriminalized here so it more so of a slap on the hand kind of deal.
if this is the most intense stuff you've ever seen, then you haven't been in the military in a war!
I’m so glad all those police officers showed up so they can all spectate the shooter same as civilians. We need people with more courage if they’re gonna wear that uniform. Protect yourself and loved ones, don’t rely on enforcement
I lived in Austin in the early 90's for a few years. It was a wonderful time to live there. Never heard of things like this and you could walk alone on the streets late night.
Yup!
“We’ll this is the time to get away with whatever you want”😂
In austin when u call 911 you start by being on hold for 8 mins before an operator talks to you.
😯😯😯😯😰😰😰😰🫣🫣🫣🫣
I don’t think your from Austin lol
That’s A LIE!
My son accidentally called 911 just this summer, and in just some seconds, there was a lady who answered right away, and asking if we need help and she will send it as soon as possible.
I’m living in Austin for almost 30 years from East Coast, and this city is the best place I’ve ever lived to in my almost 60 years of age, period.
@@cliffm8846 yeah well… north austin, travis county, 1 week ago, we called 911 at 3:45 am after gunshots outside and screaming and an obvious scene of tragedy and were on an automated hold recording for 7 mins and 39 seconds until an operator spoke to us. Thats very rude and ignorant of you to call someone a liar after they literally experienced this less than a week ago.
@@kevintheboxer27 youre right. Im from houston and have been living in austin for 3 yrs now. But my recent experience calling 911 in austin after a shooting and awful scene outside our apt at 3:45 am was being on an automatic hold recording for 7 mins and 39 secs before an operator spoke with us.
I live in Austin, watch the news every morning and didn’t hear about this.
Our people are something else
turns out my friend and i were at the arboretum the same day. the only thing that got us away from that area was i had to drop my friend off for a work shift for 5 o’clock.
Glad you made it out. OK that was a close call. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Cool story bro…
Haven't heard anything about it. Wild.
I saw all the cops going that way. And I was wondering what happened..
😲😲😲😲😲😱
The authorities in Texas must not allow it to become a California where everyone does what they want without having any consequences or punishment for their actions, with a heavy hand and without fear of what they will say.
Ive never heard of texans moving to California 😂
Thoughts and prayers! ❤
Thanks 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Prayers to anyone hurt.. more ppl need to get license to carry gun ASAP
Texas govt got rid of that love back in 2021 www.austintexas.gov/department/open-carry#:~:text=Beginning%20September%201%2C%202021%2C%20HB1927,have%20a%20license%20to%20carry.
don't need one in texas
@@justinshroba2891 you can’t just go to a pawn shop and get one
@@justinshroba2891We all know this, but too many people without enough common sense. or training own them. New Year's Eve at 2pm my car was hit with a stray bullet as I was driving on Mopac. The way it hit the hood of my vehicle leads me to believe it was just shot up in the air randomly. Now you dont need a license to carry but some idiots don't even know that you need to have it registered.
you don't need a license w/open carry now
And every day there is a gun battle on Rundberg and not a cop in sight. I counted 150 gunshots 2 nights ago.
Stay safe out there
Everyone should be toting at least a 16+1 9mm
Nice👍👍👍👍
💯 percent
@oliver3058 🫡
That's what my granddaughter's high School looked like last week in Adkins TX head teachers and students hear gunshots my granddaughter somebody set off firecrackers. So proud of my granddaughter she didn't panic at all she kept her cool the students that were close to her she kept them calm she talked to them and reassured them that everything would be fine she stayed on the phone with us as much as she could when they release the students we were so happy to see her safe and sound that's when she finally let go and cried.
Glad everything is OK 👍👍👍👍🥹🥹🥹
East Central??
I live down the street and I knew nothing of this 😮😮 Austin is so conservative 😂😂😂
Appreciate this video my wife and I live in the apartment next to the arboretum and I was sleeping through all this (night shift)
I lived there in 2003 to 2005 and nothing bad ever happened. Beautiful area. Things are changing
Its ghetto now
Yep...years of democrat policies have destroyed Austin.
All honesty it’s not even the Natives in Austin doing the bs. It’s the out of towners that took over. Natives always been chill
@@MrMakeItHappen1 It's pretty much anyone who is voting democrat is directly at fault for what Austin and Houston have become. Native socialists are no better than the west coast or yankee socialists. Trust me, my brother is one of the old Native Austin hippi socialists and his ideas are about as dumb as they get. Vote red if you don't want to live in a schithole.
"This is the time to get away with whatever you want" Yes it is.
It's funny that the same thing is happening in NY. A ton of police popping up in a random/crowded place with no explanation
If you think that’s intense you ain’t seen nothing yet compared to a 10-85 (Code cover) in nyc. Literally 100s of cops can amass in under 3 minutes
A massive wall of blue and vehicles of every unimaginable description.😌
"Sarge! It's the Arboretum. A couple of their trees escaped."
😲😲😲😲😂😂😂😂
Police are city workers like construction crew , one cop to investigate and fill out the report 50 others to stand around on the clock
😂
My hometown. The Arboretum is a swanky shopping center. It's huge. I didn't even know this happened, it's now October.
😢😢😢😢😢😢😔
I was born and raise in atx now i love out in coastal areas i loved the old austin now people have chats about guys doing bad sht and taxes traffic. I will remain in peace here now ...x atx ❤
First time I've seen APD actually work.
They were on it. I was trying to get up close to see the action and they wouldn’t let me near the hotspot.
What did happen?
That was yesterday at the Arboretum😢
Saying it was yesterday don't tell us what happened that's just when it happened lol
Shooting
Shooting and 2 people RIP
What the I’ve been in Austin all my life and I had no clue this happened 😮
Random attack
Higher crime
Higher taxes
Ineffective infrastructure
Overpopulated
Gongested traffic
High crash rates
Defunded PD
Parking nightmare
High hospital patient incidents
What happeed?
Shooting 2 dead
Yes 2 RIP
Quick story. So a week before this happened, I was in a store there and a man walked in open carrying. The clerk told him they didn't allow firearms in the store. He semi-complained stating there were no signs on the entrance, but went out and disarmed himself. So I made sure to walk by him and stated to him, "that's why I conceal carry." Next time I go to this particular store, I will be sure to remind them about making a customer remove his firearm, and about the nut job that was there shooting up the place a few days later.
Be safe out there. Concealed carry seems like the only way to stay safe these days. Never know when there is a bad actor around. In a city with a Million + people the 1 in 1,000,000 odds happen daily.
They closed the business.
Yeah that guys needed to know that I'm Texas you don't need a ccl
Oh cool, more guns more dead people! More dead children! Yeah! Texas! Guns! God! Yeehawww!
Lol what a bunch of crap .
Damn whats going on in Austin man i remember 2013-2018 was so lit and not really crimes and stuff everywhere was chill in Austin now ppl getting shot on 6th street more homeless ppl its sad
Yeah, Austin definitely took a turn 😲
This is probably the entire police department for Austin with all of their shortages. No cop in their right mind would want to serve those voters. That town is a shell of its former self. Very sad
Thats deep
Cops serve voters? That's hilarious
1000% agree
So a “cop” who’s supposed to protect and serve: chooses to be a cop based on voters?? Sounds like a bunch a cowards!
Yes, no one wants to sign up to protect people who completely disregard and disrespect officers. I don't know anyone who would want to go through what officers go through.
They went to burn all the books at Barnes and Noble
😰😂😂😂😂😂
Used to be called water loo back in the 70s
Everyone blaming this on the size of Austin has forgotten what happened on the UT campus August 1, 1966. It’s the whole reason SWAT teams became a thing.
Love our Austin Police Dept. God bless and protect them when they are in harms way!
Agreed they keep us in line. We would be Lawless with out them🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
This opening time at VooDoo Donuts
Raised in and around austin all my life was stabbed at 14 years old and rt down the street from the hospital and now for a fact that east side and south side parts of austin get very slow response if any help at all from the police than other areas. Send my sympathy for anyone injured in this event u am here in austin and this is the first i seen or heard of this
cop finds a gram of coke calls the entire department for backup
😂😂🎉🎉🎉
Today’s lesson - stay away from Texas!
Ya, a lot safer in blue states lol
Please do!
Like nothing ever happens anyway else but in Texas.
This is a common occurrence in LA, NUC and Chicago.
I live 15 minutes from the Arboretum and it’s where I go as part of shopping. I haven’t even heard about this yet.!
That's a shotty Smokey and the Bandit movie.
😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
@@Lamborghini_AlexWhat happen
@connieflores7362 there was a shooting that broke out at one of the stores. A few people were shot, and I believe to or dead after the fact. One of the deceased included the shooter.
Hi Alex those are some beautiful cars.
Hi alex how are doing
Just moved to Austin Texas this year (September 2023)
Welcome to the neighborhood stop by the Porsche store
Aaa d this is why we have a 2nd Amendment and CCW., exactly like commenter said, you cant always sit and wait around for several hours for 911 to show up.
Soo they probably discovered a trafficking ring and all came to… investigate, and make sure the roads were blocked in case anyone tried to escape… I mean bad guys of course. 😳🤐
I never understood why they call every unit and have them stay there way after the crime is done. Like all 100 cops on duty just stand around the crime scene for 6 hours. Never made any sense to me. If you’re a criminal this is the best time to commit crimes. It’s gonna take forever to get a unit out. So dumb police need to be restructured
For real. I’ve always gone by the saying “pass one cop on the road and that’s one less cop that will pull you over” 😂
Seen every cop in a small city at a house fire. Thought to myself, what a great time to rob a bank!
Es por que hubo un tiroteo y hubo muertos y cuando se les habla no se sabe cuantos tiradores hay y si an huido por eso tantas patrullas
People died it was for evidence
Man, I don't even recognize Austin anymore. It used to be a badass weekend hangout when ai was younger. It's turned into L.A. There's hardly anything Texas left about it
It was reported on every Austin news outlet. People stop acting like "they had no idea it happened".
I read the headlines on my Google news feed every day and this never came up.
@lbec9487 ask people daily if they heard about the event and they say no what happened then I show them this video. And they are shocked. 😨😨😨😨😨😨
Well, the shooter wasn't white so you didn't hear much about it.
It’s never a time to get away with whatever you want.. THE EYES THAT TRULY MATTERS SEES & KARMA IS TEAL SET BY YOUR OWN INTENTIONS!!! Let’s encourage INTEGRITY NOT ANY LESS!! Your video proves there’s enough of that going on in the world…
🙏🏾👁👂🏾💪🏾❤️💯🎼⏳🌟🌻🕊🦋
I remember that shooting I was at bull creek when it happened.
