The Austin Police said during a late night press conference that the man who was shot by a motorist during the Black Lives Matter “protest” was carrying a rifle and may have approached the vehicle.
“One adult male victim was located with a gunshot wound,” the press officer said, before confirming he passed away at the hospital shortly after. “Initial reports indicate that the victim may have been carrying a rifle and approached the suspect vehicle. Suspect was in the vehicle and shot at the victim. Suspect was detained and is cooperating with officers.”
The officer confirmed that there were no other injuries reported and there is no threat to the public.
A photo that is making the rounds of the couple described by the witness, “Whitney and Garrett”, shows a person that may be the man who was shot holding a rifle during a protest.

How could the guy with the AK-47 miss at that range or avoid hitting other protesters? A 7.62 round will go through the car and through anyone in the car and through people on the other side of the car.
He must have shot into the air.
