Austin police are searching for a suspected active shooter believed to be tied to a series of apparently random shootings across the city this weekend.

According to local reports, at least three shootings are being investigated together, including gunfire directed toward two Austin fire stations. One man was shot Sunday morning and remains in serious but stable condition. Police say the suspect may be a white or Hispanic male in his late teens, possibly driving a white Kia Optima.  

The City of Austin issued a shelter-in-place warning for a large section of South Austin, bordered by South Slaughter Lane, East McKinney Falls Parkway, North Ben White Boulevard and West Escarpment Boulevard, as law enforcement searches the area.  

Police are urging residents to stay indoors, remain alert, avoid approaching anyone suspicious, and call 911 immediately with any information. The motive remains unclear, and the investigation is still developing.
