Texas shooting leaves 2 dead, multiple wounded during Juneteenth celebration
Two people were killed, and multiple others were wounded in a shooting Saturday night in Texas during a Juneteenth Celebration.
The shooting happened at about 10:50 p.m. in Round Rock, Texas, Round Rock Police Chief Allen Banks said at a press briefing.
Police are still searching for suspects. The number of shooters is unclear.
“It breaks your heart for a family that was coming out to enjoy their evening, and now their life is forever changed as a result of somebody who could care less about somebody else’s life” Banks said. “Thats so disappointing. Our goal is to put those folks behind bars and our goal is to get them put away for life.”

At least six people were transported to hospitals with “potentially serious” injuries, emergency response officials said, ABC News reported.
The Austin-Travis County EMS said four adults and two children were transported to local trauma facilities.
Banks said two groups began fighting with each other near the vendor area during the Round Rock Juneteenth Festival at Old Settler’s Park when the shooting began. During the fight, at least one person pulled out a gun and opened fire.

Banks said activities scheduled at the park for Sunday morning have been canceled, but should be opened again by the afternoon for Father’s Day activities.

A brush fire ignited underneath the X2 roller coaster at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia Thursday.
Los Angeles County fire crews responded to the 26100 block of Magic Mountain Parkway around 12:21 p.m.
Footage from the scene showed a palm tree was engulfed in flames underneath the coaster on the west side of the park.
The fire eventually spread to other trees and nearby brush, burning about half an acre and blanketing the area in smoke, according to video news service Key News Network.
Fire crews worked quickly to stop the blaze from threatening nearby attractions or structures.
Reports indicated that no evacuations were issued at the park and no injuries were sustained by any guests or firefighting personnel.
Authorities remained at the scene to monitor for additional hotspots. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
