TRAVIS COUNTY, Texas - The Travis County Sheriff’s Office is investigating a shooting in Southeast Austin. TCSO said three people were shot in the parking lot of an outdoor market on Sunday, June 30.

Gun shots were heard by witnesses in the parking lot of the 812 Outdoor Market in Southeast Austin.

"I saw everything that happened," a witness told FOX 7.

The Travis County Sheriff’s Office said three people were shot. Two people with non-life-threatening injuries and one person fighting to stay alive.

"There was a concert going on and people were celebrating and then things like this happen," he said.
