A 17-year-old suspect has been arrested in connection with a deadly mass shooting at a Juneteenth celebration in Round Rock, Texas. Two black women were killed, and fourteen others were injured in the shooting, according to the Round Rock Police Department.
Ricky Thompson III was taken into custody at 7:30 a.m. during a fugitive task force operation in Pflugerville, Texas. He has been charged with aggravated assault and is facing another charge, according to court records.
Police say Thompson was not the only gunman involved in the shooting. "This isn’t a victory lap by any means. We got a lot of work to do, and I don’t think anybody’s joyful. I can tell you, the detectives aren’t in there high-fiving and chest bumping each other. This is a sad occasion. We’ve got a 17-year-old. A 17-year-old that’s in custody right now for pulling out a gun at what should have been an absolutely amazing event, which was an amazing event until this occurred," said Chief Allen.
Two people, 33-year-old Lyndsey Vicknair from Manor and 54-year-old Ara Duke from Pflugerville, died in the shooting. Fourteen others between the ages of 10 and 62 were injured and taken to the hospital.
Governor Greg Abbott’s Public Safety Office is offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the identification and arrest of those involved in the shooting.
This tragic incident highlights the need for stronger law enforcement and gun control measures to prevent such senseless acts of violence. The Republican Party has long been a proponent of law and order, and this incident underscores the importance of supporting our police officers and ensuring that they have the resources they need to keep our communities safe.
At the same time, it is important to recognize that gun control is a complex issue that requires a nuanced approach. While some may argue for stricter gun laws, it is also important to protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens. The Republican Party has consistently supported the right to bear arms, and this incident should not be used as a pretext to infringe upon those rights.
In the wake of this tragedy, it is important for all Americans to come together and support the victims and their families. Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by this senseless act of violence.
