At least 2 dead after SWAT standoff in Austin, Texas, authorities say
At least two people were found dead after an hours-long SWAT team standoff in central Austin, Texas, authorities say.
The situation was reported around 4:30 p.m. on Tuesday night and took place at a doctor's office in Central Austin, according to the Austin Police Department.
Following several hours of trying to reach the people inside the building, the police had a robot unit go inside the building and identified a victim, officials said. The SWAT team then decided to enter the building and found two people dead inside, officials added.
It was immediately unclear whether the two people found dead were the only ones involved in the incident. Authorities did not provide any other additional details Tuesday night.
Hours earlier, SWAT negotiators could be heard calling out on a bullhorn to an individual urging them to answer calls or text messages on their phone.
“Your life is very important to me,” a member of the SWAT team said over the loudspeaker. “And I know life is very important to you.
Some residents near the area were evacuated and others were asked to stay inside their homes. While the standoff took place, people could be seen standing in nearby corners listening to the communications over the bullhorn.
