AUSTIN, Texas The Austin Police Department is asking for the public's assistance in identifying two suspects accused of multiple shootings on Saturday and Sunday.
The suspects have carried out up to 10 attacks, injuring as many as four people, according APD Chief Lisa Davis. One victim sustained serious injuries, and the other three have minor injuries.
According to police, there is no specific motive or location to the shootings, and they appear to be random. At least two of the shootings occurred at Austin fire stations.
"At this time, the investigation is ongoing, and APD asks that our community remain vigilant," the department said in a press release on Sunday.
The suspects are described as two Hispanic males in their late teens, one with medium wavy hair and the other with longer hair.
They are driving a black or dark blue 2012 Hyundai Sonata with a broken right passenger window, pictured below. Police said the suspects have been stealing and switching vehicles. The suspects may also be driving a gold Hyundai sedan, silver Mazda four-door or a white Kia Optima, police said. Davis has urged residents to not leave their vehicles unlocked.

Not much really to say right now. This just blew up within the last hour or so. One or two guys just going around shooting up random locations (they seem to love fire stations) since last night.
An Austin PD helicopter has been circling one around Manor area for a while now.
