The Austin Police Department is asking the public for help in investigating an officer-involved shooting that unfolded early Tuesday morning – the second incident of its kind in less than 24 hours.

Police Chief Brian Manley told reporters that the incident began around 12:30 a.m. when an off-duty officer traveling to a neighborhood in his personal vehicle "noticed there was a car behind him and this car then abruptly cut him off.  "As the vehicle pulled alongside him, the officer reported that he saw the driver point a firearm at him," Manley said.

The officer in response fired "multiple rounds" at the suspect’s vehicle before making a 911 call to report the incident, according to Manley.
