Keep On Truckin'
Saturday night's alright for fighting, but Sunday night? Well, last night APD was called to the Pleasant Valley/Quicksilver Lane area in Southeast Austin after someone reported hearing gunshots. So they were on the scene when the driver of a pickup truck attempted to drive over a group of people, and then tried to run over some police officers. When the driver, Reynaldo Loredo Gonzalez, started towards the cops, he was fired at by a couple of them.
The police say they aren't certain where or how many times he was hit, but Gonzalez was taken to Brackenridge and is being treated for his non-life-threatening wounds. He is being charged with aggravated assault, and so is Michael Morin, who was involved with the shooting that brought the cops out to the area in the first place.
Why and who was Morin shooting? Why did Gonzalez feel such a need to flee the scene? The exact events of last night are still being investigated.
