AUSTIN (Talk1370.com) -- One person is dead this morning after an officer-involved shooting on the city's south side.
According to Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon, a 911 call came in just before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday morning, reporting a man firing a gun into a home.
Chacon said a witness told officers the man had a rifle.
Gunshots could be heard as the officers were getting out of their vehicles, Chacon said, which were recorded on their body-worn cameras.
One of the officers opened fire, hitting the man, who immediately fell to the ground.
Chacon said officers separated the man from his weapon and gave him medical attention. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
No one else was injured during the incident, Chacon said.
An investigation into the shooting is ongoing. Video from the officers' body-worn cameras is expected to be released within 10 business days, according to the department's critical incident policy.
The officer who fired his weapon will be placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of two investigations, Chacon said.
