AUSTIN (KXAN) — A man accused of injuring at least three people in a shooting at an east Austin park claims the victims shot at him first, according to an arrest affidavit.

At approximately 6:40 p.m., March 26, Austin Police Department officers were dispatched to the intersection of Nash Hernandez Road and Chicon Street, near the area known as Chicano Park, the affidavit said. Callers told 911 dispatch at least 50 shots were fired at the intersection.

One of the victims said he saw two vehicles with rims sticking out several inches driving by him, and the rims of both vehicles collided and stopped in the street, the affidavit said.

As people look at the damage on the vehicles, the driver of one of the vehicles stepped out and began shooting. According to the affidavit, the suspect got back in the vehicle and drove away. As the suspect turned the corner, he fired his gun again. Then, one of the gunshot victims said he went to his vehicle, grabbed his gun and fired one shot at the suspect.

The suspect then stopped his vehicle, got out and shot at the victim. According to the affidavit, a bullet grazed the victim’s stomach and was able to get treated at the hospital.

Another victim was shot in the stomach, and the other was shot in the leg, the affidavit said.
