An "active shooter incident" occurred in Austin, Texas, on Sunday, killing one and injuring multiple others.

A woman in her 30s was shot dead in the incident, the Austin American-Statesman newspaper reported, citing county emergency medical personnel.

At least three other people were rushed to a local hospital, the newspaper said.

The Austin police say two separate shootings occurred in the same area.

Police across the country, and especially in Texas, remain on edge weeks after a black extremist shot dead five officers protecting a peaceful march against police brutality in Dallas.
