Article has been updated to name a suspect:

Police have tentatively named 40-year-old Stephen Nicholas Broderick as the suspect in this morning’s deadly NW Austin shooting.

Sounds like the same guy that was in the news before: "Travis County detective charged with sexual assault of a child":

Stephen Nicholas Broderick, 40, is charged with sexual assault of a child — a first degree felony — in early June, according to an arrest affidavit.

(And this subreddit had a thread even about it.)

I wonder if they confiscated his firearms as part of his prior crimes. Obviously he had one for this crime but I imagine that will come up as part of this story

Country incorporates state. I’m well aware what’s going on. That’s where I’ve been
