Yes, three Hispanic teens took to a rampage throughout the city of Austin, Texas, over the weekend, hitting a dozen different targets in seemingly random attacks.
Here's Fox 7 in Austin:
During a Sunday evening press conference, Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said a 15-year-old and a 17-year-old were taken into custody after a string of shootings, vehicle thefts and robberies across South and East Austin.
Authorities said the 17-year-old had an active warrant for stealing a firearm from the same store where the 15-year-old allegedly stole another gun Saturday. Investigators believe the suspects stole more than four vehicles during the spree and may have switched vehicles multiple times.
Police are investigating at least 12 separate incidents involving gunfire that began Saturday afternoon and continued into Sunday morning. The shootings struck apartment buildings, homes, businesses and two Austin Fire Department stations.
Late Sunday night, the Manor Police Department announced a third suspect who fled from a vehicle during a pursuit in Manor had been located and detained. Officials said there is 'no ongoing threat to the public at this time.'
During the 12 shootings, four people were injured, one critically.
Here's that Austin PD presser:

And why haven't you released the names of the suspects who did this??
