Huge stupid, tragic event happened tonight outside the Mohawk (the venue that hosts Anarchy Championship Wrestling) here in Austin.
Guy gets pulled over at a gas station for a DWI check by the police and decides to make a run for it. Starts speeding in excess of 60 MPH the wrong way on a one-way street, breaks through a barricade closing off the street for the crowd going to see shows for the SXSW Music Festival, and starts running people down. 2 confirmed dead on the scene, 5 in critical condition in the hospital, over 20 with other injuries. Murderer eventually hit a taxi and a van, and then tried to flee on foot when he was tasered and arrested.
The whole street was just strewn with bodies. Pretty shocking, and particularly eerie considering it all happened right at the spot where you'd see me and a bunch of my friends lining up for shows on a Sunday.
