The Gateway Pundit reportedthat over the weekend, residents in the Austin, Texas area were asked to shelter in place amid reports of multiple shootings.
The Austin Police Department says at least three suspects were involved in as many as 12 shootings since Saturday.
Two of the shootings were at fire stations in South Austin.
At least four people were reported injured.
Police announced that 17-year-old Cristian Mondragon has been charged with six felonies, with more charges possible, including: Two counts of unauthorized use of a motor vehicle; Two counts of aggravated assault with a motor vehicle; Theft of firearms; Evading arrest with a motor vehicle.
The two other suspects are minors and will be processed through a different judicial system.
While in court, prosecutors noted that Mondragon is not a U.S. citizen and currently has an ICE hold.
“The ICE detainer does add an extra component to his process,” Criminal Defense & Immigration Attorney Robert Jimenez said.
The judge ordered Mondragon to be held without bond on the aggravated assault charges, with prosecutors arguing he poses a danger to the community and could be deported if released.
Jimenez said that the detainer doesn’t mean ICE takes over the case right now.
