Daring rescue over the Gulf! Galveston Firefighters must have ice water running through their veins. How they got 8 stranded passengers calmly and safely down off the Iron Shark Rollercoaster. https://t.co/obAS0HisaQ
In Austin, you can walk your dogs on a quiet Sunday morning and get randomly shot.
"I don't know why they would shoot me." Sean Fuentes keeps repeating it from his hospital bed.
A car ran a stop sign in southeast Austin and three men opened fire. The first shot dropped him, and he felt the rest hitting the dirt next to his face as the shooters stayed and emptied the clip trying to execute him. Bear crawling home, he heard his late father's voice -- a Marine who served two tours in Vietnam: "It's go time." He crawled and walked a block and a half home bleeding. His wife saw the dogs running back alone, leashes dragging.
Three teenagers stole a 9mm Glock from a shop on Ben White, took a stolen car, and spent the weekend firing into homes, vehicles, and strangers across Austin. 105 rounds across 21 incidents with four people shot.
Sean’s twin sister is in the ICU waiting room with him, and wants justice: "They stayed there and shot him multiple times and then watched him. Like, you're watching somebody die.... I want to see them prosecuted to the full extent. They should be tried as adults."
