AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin Police Department is looking for multiple shooters after a woman and a man were hurt at a gas station in North Austin Saturday morning.
At around 5 a.m., police said a man and a woman who were staying at a Motel 6 located near Interstate Highway 35 and St. Johns Avenue started arguing with a group of men across the street at the Valero gas station.

"It escalated into a physical altercation and in an effort to break up the fight, the woman drove the car over here," a public information officer with APD said. "Gunshots were exchanged and in an effort to get away or protect themselves she drove the car into the convenience store."
The SUV crashed into a Valero gas station across the street from the Motel 6.
