AUSTIN (KXAN) — A teenager suffered serious injuries, and another person was “detained” after a reported shooting in south Austin, according to the Austin Police Department.
Officers responded to the report of a shoot/stab hotshot call around 2:20 p.m. near a bus stop in the 10700 block of South First Street. That’s near Akins High School, APD said in a news release.
KXAN reached out to the Austin Independent School District, and a spokesperson confirmed Akins High School is on a hold due to the active scene.
“During a Hold, keep the hallways clear and students continue their work as usual,” AISD said.
Officers arrived and found the teen with a gunshot wound, according to APD. Police said Austin-Travis County EMS took the teen “to a local trauma facility with serious, potentially life-threatening injuries.”
“Officers immediately searched the area and located a subject nearby. One subject was detained,” police said.
The scene remained active, and police had no other details to release Tuesday.
