ASAN (KXAN) – The violent morning in Austin was pushed to a chase that ended a building away from Barton Hills Elementary School, where the police said that the owner of a house fired a gunman accused of shooting a woman and a police officer near the Zilker Park.
As revealed, various alerts came out to the area mobile phones. Some came from the Austin Police Department, and others came from the independent province of Austin.
“The APD message was designed and shared by APD using Warn Central Texas. It was used as a radius and those who registered in the notification system within this specified country,” APD said in a statement. The section did not say to what extent the half of the diameter spanned.
If an alert is sent using Central Tennas WarningYou will only receive it if you are registered in the program.
Police chief Lisa Davis said that the owner of the house who shot the issue had participated in the alerts.
She said: “I saw him on my way to the top of the elevator and stopped me and said,” I want to tell you, this shelter is in his place, I saved my life, and saved my family. “For this reason, I was ready. So when you look at what can be done, it saves lives. “
She also addressed “serious fears” that she had on alert, saying that shelter was raised when the police did not find the suspect.
Currently, the city of Austin does not have the authority to send alerts of text messages to people without passing through the Government Council in the Capcog region by warning central Texas, but the city can soon have the authority to send alerts similar to amber alerts, because Austin is about to become the so -called “activation power”.
