BASTROP, Texas (AP) — A shooting at a Texas apartment complex on Saturday left four people dead including the suspected shooter, police said.
Bastrop Police Det. Vicky Steffanic said at a news briefing that the dead were one man, two women and a child.
Bastrop Police Det. Vicky Steffanic on Sunday said 21-year-old Erica Rodriguez, 20-year-olds Alejandro Martinez and Paula Nino, and one unidentified 3-year-old boy were killed in a Saturday shooting at the complex.
Another child was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life threatening, she said.
"The shooter is among the dead and there is no further threat to the public," Steffanic said.
Steffanic declined to comment on a motive for the shooting.
At least one nearby resident told the Austin American-Statesman that those found dead were residents of the complex.
Police initially said there could be as many as five dead, but that was later revised to four when it was determined that the suspected shooter was among the fatalities.
Bastrop is a town of about 7,500 people located 35 miles southeast of Austin.
