At least six shot at Old Settler's Park, ATCEMS says
Round Rock — At least two people are dead and multiple people are injured after a shooting at Old Settler’s Park in Round Rock, according to local officials.
Round Rock Police said they received a call about a shooting at the Juneteenth Festival just before 11:00 p.m. Saturday night.
Officers were already working the event which had been promoted by the City of Round Rock and immediately began rendering aid to multiple victims.
Round Rock police said two people died but said they would not give specific numbers on injuries at this point in the investigation.
The two people deceased have not yet been identified.
Austin-Travis County EMS reported transporting six people with injuries from the scene to area hospitals, including two children.
Police say they are searching for suspects, none are in custody.
The FBI and Texas DPS are assisting in the investigation.
Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks called the shooting a senseless tragedy.
“It breaks your heart for a family that was coming out to enjoy their evening,” Banks said.
He thanked responding officers and firefighters, “I have no doubt their action saved lives tonight.”
The Juneteenth Festival concert was billed as a free family event, scheduled from 5:00 p.m. until midnight.
Performers at the concert included DJ Hella Yella and Paul Wall who wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “Round Rock, we are praying for everybody.”
Police say the shooting happened near vendor stands, not the stage area.
Round Rock police is asking anyone who witnessed the shooting or who has video of the shooting to contact them at (512) 218-5500.

A Texas House committee took the unusual step of unanimously voting down the bill to make Austin a district of the state and not a traditional city.
Austin’s ever changing skyline: A view from the ACL Festival
Every fall, photojournalist Jay Janner documents Austin’s skyline during the Austin City Limits Music Festival. See how it’s evolved since 2005.
A bill that would have turned Texas’ capital city into the “District of Austin” was dead on arrival in the House State Affairs Committee on Wednesday.
In other words, the “DOA” bill was DOA.
House Bill 274 by Republican Rep. Briscoe Cain of Deer Park sought to make many of the actions of the Austin City Council subject to review by the speaker of the House and the lieutenant governor.
Cain had cited crime and sundry mismanagement allegations as the basis for his bill. The 11 members of the State Affairs Committee apparently thought the measure was kind of silly. Sometimes when lawmakers want to kill a bill, they try talking it to death. This time, they giggled the life out of it.
State Affairs Chairman Ken King, a Republican from the Panhandle city of Canadian, chuckled as he said Rep. Charlie Geren, R-Fort Worth, had made a motion to pass the bill on to the full House for consideration.
Then when Geren actually voted no, there was a snicker or two. By the time King cast the final vote and announced the 11-0 tally, many on the House panel and in the committee room laughed out loud.
It was unclear whether Cain found the exercise, which took less than three minutes to play out, amusing. He doesn’t serve on the State Affairs Committee and he did not return a Statesman call seeking comment.
