[UPDATED] Suspect Identified, Still at Large in Austin Triple Shooting
Update 6:22 p.m. ET: The suspect in Sunday’s shooting in Austin has been identified as Stephen Nicholas Broderick, 41, a former Travis County Sheriff’s Office detective. The suspect allegedly gunned down two women and one man near Great Hills Trail and Rain Creek Parkway in Austin. He is 5’7″ tall, according to police, and was last seen wearing a gray hoodie and a baseball cap. He is considered “armed and dangerous.”
Broaderick was placed on leave, and then resigned, from the sheriff’s office in June 2020 after being charged with the sexual assault of a child. He was out on a $100,000 bond while Texas Rangers investigated the case.
Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza said in a statement that his office is “actively supporting the Austin Police Department and law enforcement who are using all available resources to apprehend” Broderick.
I guess since he only killed 3 this isn't a mass shooting or is it because he's black or an Ex Detective
