According to the Austin Police Department, at around 5:31 a.m., officers responded to a call in the 7600 block of Bethune Avenue, where a female resident reported a man attempting to break into her home through the door and a window. The caller then stated that the male suspect had entered the home, followed by the sound of gunshots. Upon arrival at the scene, the APD officers and EMS medics found the male suspect dead. APD says the preliminary investigation indicates that the suspect was shot by one of the residents in self-defense. There is no indication that the residents knew the male suspect. He was later identified as 61-year-old Samuel Wolf. While further details about other occupants of the home have not been released, the police confirmed the residence is a duplex with side A and side B. The investigation is ongoing, and the APD is urging anyone with information to call the homicide tip line at 512-472-TIPS. No charges are expected to be filed against the resident who shot the suspect at this time. Police are currently investigating the incident as the city's 23rd homicide this year. ------------------------------------------------------------- All's swell that ends swell! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChuteTheMall Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 So the shooting occurred during the 911 call? This is why we need to practice shooting while talking on the phone. And 5:30 AM is a stupid time to bust in thru a window; old dude was lucky to live 61 years. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tous Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Yeah (sarcastically) she should have waited for the woke Austin PD to arrive an hour later to draw a chalk (organic, non-polluting, sustainable) outline around her body rather than defend herself. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
