AUSTIN, Texas — On Saturday, people who live at Riverside Townhomes in southeast Austin say they woke up to gunshots and a loud boom around 3 a.m.

"I got up scared and ran outside and I could hear the gunshots going on," said tenant Jessica Loera. "There were rangers saying, 'Stay inside, stay inside.'" 

Loera said once she made it outside, she found her family's vehicles smashed in, along with her neighbors' vehicles. She says the suspect who was shooting hit their vehicles, ran into a tree and then ran off.
