A veteran Austin police officer putting away horses for the night was able to stop a gunman rampaging through the city's downtown early Friday — ending the suspect's 10 minutes of terror before anyone was hurt, authorities said.
But police are trying to determine whether the shooter, who had been driving around the Texas capital, was killed during a gunfight with the officer or if he took his own life. He was later identified as Larry Steve McQuilliams, 49, of Austin

Over the next 10 minutes, shots were reported throughout the downtown area, including at the federal courthouse and the Mexican consulate.
Acevedo said the suspect unloaded a small green cylinder, typically associated with portable BBQs, to ignite a fire at the consulate. The fire was put out before it could cause any real damage.
When the suspect arrived at police headquarters, an officer putting away horses saw him open fire at the outside of the building. Acevedo said the officer, a 15-year veteran, held onto the horses with one hand and fired his gun with the other.
and it gets weirder.

“I had a feeling [the shooter, Larry Steve McQuilliams] was a white man, and you can be sure the hostile aliens who really control the country are going to use this against US,” wrote “Volodyamyr.”
