AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- One suspect is in custody following an early morning SWAT situation and officer-involved shooting in North Austin Monday morning.
Austin Police were called to a hotel in the 12500 block of Interstate 35 southbound, just south of Parmer Lane, around 1:30 a.m. Monday morning, searching for 23-year old Dylan Polinski.
Police say Polinski was being sought on a previous warrant for aggravated robbery out of Williamson County.
When officers arrived, they were unable to find Polinski; about two hours later, police say they were called back when Polinski returned, barricading himself in a room and holding a woman against her will. SWAT arrived on the scene around 5:20 a.m.
Polinski eventually came out of the room, using the woman as a human shield, before running to an exit stairwell where officers were waiting. One of the officers fired a weapon and hit Polinski in the leg.
The woman was unharmed, and no officers were injured.
The officer-involved shooting will be investigated twice - once by the department's internal affairs division, and a second investigation by the Travis County district attorney's office.
