A woman in her twenties is dead and others injured after two unconnected shootings in part of Texas.
Police initially thought the shootings in downtown Austin were linked as they happened so close together. But police now say that is not the case.
Three other people have been taken to hospital with gun shot wounds according to emergency services.
In total five people were shot and one man refused medical transport to hospital according to authorities.
