ROUND ROCK, Texas – The city of Round Rock’s Juneteenth celebration ended early Saturday night after an altercation broke out between two groups. Round Rock police say during the altercation someone pulled a gun and fired it during the concert.

“It is unfortunate that we are here celebrating a wonderful event, and we have a tragedy that happens. My thoughts, my prayers go out to our victims. My condolences go out to the families of the deceased at this time,” said Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks.

Chief Banks confirmed during Sunday morning’s press conference that two people died at the scene. According to ATCEMS, four adults and two children were taken to local hospitals with potentially serious injuries.

“All the victims and the deceased were not emergency personnel or first responders. They were actually folks that were there enjoying the concert,” said Chief Banks.

Chief Banks says at this time the Round Rock Police Department and the FBI are investigating this mass shooting.

“As you can imagine, with a traumatic incident like this, people are going to have different accounts of what happened and different accounts of what that suspect might have looked like. And so, this is why it’s an ongoing investigation. We’re trying to piece that together,” said Chief Banks.

“Our goal is to put those folks behind bars. And our goal is to get them put away for life, and, and we’re going to work tirelessly to do that. No stone left unturned,” said Chief Banks.

Round Rock PD says there’s no suspect in custody at this time. They are asking for the public’s help. Anyone with any information on Saturday night’s shooting is asked to report it to the police department at 512-218-5500.

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.

AUSTIN (KXAN) – With two weeks to think about their 5-1 loss to Real Salt Lake, Austin FC suffered another defeat Saturday evening 2-0 to the Colorado Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park.

While Austin controlled possession more than half the game, they did not have much success offensively. The visitors managed zero shots on goal with eight shot attempts overall.

Colorado struck first in the 22nd minute with a goal from Cole Bassett. The other goal for the Rapids came early in the second half courtesy of Rafael Navarro.

The loss is Austin’s third straight as they have slowed after a strong stretch from late April into May. With another match netting them zero points, Austin is now in eighth place in the Western Conference.

The Verde and Black will next be in action Wednesday evening at 7:30 p.m. as they’ll host LAFC at Q2 Stadium in Austin.
