Early this morning there was a shooting in Austin, Texas that left more than a dozen people injured, but fortunately there were no fatalities, though two people remain in critical condition:
FOX 7 Austin ~ APD confirms there are no fatalities from the E 6th Street shooting at this time. 13 people are injured. Police are still searching for suspect.

From the FOX 7 Austin article:
"APD says there is one suspect described as a black male, with dreadlocks, wearing a black shirt and a skinny build."
The suspect fled the scene, and there is what’s been called a “vague description,” but the Austin American-Statesman won’t be sharing it:
Josh Kraushaar ~ Unusual: “Police have only released a vague description of the suspected shooter as of Saturday morning. The American-Statesman is not including the description as it is too vague at this time to be useful in identifying the shooter.”
“... and such publication could be harmful in perpetuating stereotypes.”

The Austin American-Statesman is a pathetic leftist rag.
This is at the bottom of their story on the shooting:
That’s ... interesting.
jimtreacher.substack.com ~ Ah.
TheRightWingM ~ Media: Let’s not protect people from a mass shooter. Let’s protect our wokeness & political narratives.
Friendly Spring 🌷 CPA ~ 🤦♀️🤦♀️ Better to protect his feelings than catch him.
BaconManLives ~ “It might perpetuate stereotypes”. So, PC Rag, I’ll go out on a limb and guess the description isn’t of a white guy. Bunch of clowns.
Rep. Jared Patterson ~ The editor who made this call should be fired on the spot. Police have released a description, get it to the public!
“... one, or multiple suspects involved. There is one suspect described as a black male, with dread locks, wearing a black shirt and a skinny build.”
BoyoB ~ The stereotype of a mass shooter is young white male, no? This shooter is not. How does that perpetuate stereotypes?
It’s almost as if they’re worried about breaking a stereotype instead of perpetuating one.
