The situation began when officer Adam Reinhart identified a stolen vehicle near Zilker Park and was attacked while waiting with the tow truck. The suspect shot both the officer and a nearby woman, who later was not expected to survive. After fleeing, the suspect was found near an elementary school and entered a home, where the homeowner shot him in the arm and leg. The suspect is in stable condition. authorities had issued a shelter-in-place alert to residents, which helped the homeowner prepare, although there was a glitch in the alert system that prematurely downgraded the warning. Austin police Chief Lisa Davis assured that the issue would be thoroughly investigated to prevent recurrence.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>A resident in Austin, Texas, blasted a home invader on Wednesday after the suspect had shot a policeman and a woman earlier that morning.<\/p>\n<p>The wounded suspect, 30-year-old Brandon Thompson, was later charged with attempted capital murder of a peace officer and burglary of a residence, which are both first-degree felonies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kxan.com\/news\/local\/austin\/austin-police-officer-other-person-injured-in-shooting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KXAN-TV<\/a> in Austin reported Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>It began early Wednesday morning, when Senior Police Officer Adam Reinhart was on patrol near Zilker Park in Austin.<\/p>\n<p>At some point, Reinhart had identified a vehicle that earlier had been reported <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/chinese-government-appears-stolen-data-nearly-every-american-yearslong-cyberattack-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stolen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Reinhart stayed by the car, awaiting a tow truck, while other officers investigated the nearby park.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\");
