bullet casings of three different weapons and an abandoned SUV with bullet holes in it. The police also found a blue Chrysler that was also involved in the shooting. It was damaged and abandoned in the 1900 block of Jackson Street. A male victim was transported to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. The police said no suspect information was available and the investigation is ongoing. “There were casings all through the intersection (of South Garth Avenue and East Texas Avenue) over the side of the street from (houses) 101
to 107 in the middle of the street,” said officer Julie Marty, who was collecting evidence at the scene of the shooting. Two nearby houses were also damaged, according to the police. One of the homes, owned by Jim Baumgartner at 107 W. Texas Ave., had two bullet holes in the glass of its street-facing windows. “It sounded like fireworks at first, then two loud bangs and I heard my glass shatter,” Baumgartner said. “The first thing I did was call the cops.”
