Afterward, he drove west on Sixth Street, 13 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: parked his vehicle, and emerged with a rifle, targeting pedestrians 14 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:58,279 Speaker 1: as he moved along the street. Officers later confronted him, 15 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,640 Speaker 1: leading to an exchange of gunfire that resulted in his death. 16 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,640 Speaker 1: Authorities recovered both a handgun and a rifle from the scene. 17 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Law enforcement sources noted that Diagney was wearing clothing with 18 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: references to Allah and a T shirt with the word 19 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,199 Speaker 1: Iran alongside the Iranian flag. FBI Special Agent Alex Doran 20 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: mentioned during a press briefing that there were indicators on 21 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:27,559 Speaker 1: the suspect and his vehicle suggesting possible links to terrorism, 22 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 1: although he cautioned that it was too early in the 23 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,959 Speaker 1: investigation to draw any definitive conclusions. 24 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,080 Speaker 2: This was a very active scene. As many of you know, 25 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: We have paramedics that are embedded in the entertainment district 26 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 2: and with the Austin Police Department on the weekends. We 27 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,039 Speaker 2: received the call at one fifty nine am and within 28 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 2: fifty seven seconds the first paramedics and officers were on 29 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 2: scene actively treating the patients. We had a total of 30 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,240 Speaker 2: seventeen patients on the scene. Fourteen of those were transported 31 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 2: to the hospital. Three were pronounced dead on scene. Of 32 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: the fourteen patients were transported to the hospital, three were 33 00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 2: incredible condition and as I said, parkindolences go out to 34 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 2: everyone that was involved, and we'll be back with more 35 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 2: information with you. 36 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:10,360 Speaker 1: Investigators are also looking into the suspects mental health. Currently, 37 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: the incident is being treated as a lone wolf attack 38 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,800 Speaker 1: rather than part of a larger conspiracy. Walkerdo, a student 39 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 1: at ut who witnessed the shooting, described the chaos as 40 00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 1: shots rang out. It was just unbelievable, twenty or thirty 41 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: shots at least, he said. Everyone went into a frenzy, 42 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:32,079 Speaker 1: running and driving, diving for cover. People jumped into their 43 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: cars and sped away. Deo expressed concern for the victims, 44 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: saying he was left with a lasting emotional scar from 45 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: the experience. Now I find myself questioning whether I want 46 00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: to return to the Sixth Street area, he admitted. Emergency 47 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: Medical Services Chief Robert Lucritz reported that three individuals died 48 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: at the scene.

Austin Mayor Kirk Watson commended 50 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: the swift actions of law enforcement. They undoubtedly saved lives, 51 00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: he said. Governor Greg Abbot issued a statement Sunday afternoon 52 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: extending his condolences to the victims and their family. Governor 53 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 1: Craig Abbot issued a statement Sunday afternoon extending his condolences 54 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: to the victims and their families. Or Crime Injustice news 55 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: after this A woman has been sentenced to seventy years 56 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 1: in prison after being convicted of horrific abuse against her 57 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: young stepdaughter, including keeping her locked in a room with chains, 58 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: physically assaulting her, and forcing her to scavenge for food 59 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: in the school trash bins. The investigation into forty six 60 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:49,119 Speaker 1: year old Marianna Miles began when she enrolled her stepdaughter 61 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: at Connolly Junior High School and requested a meeting with 62 00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: school officials. During this meeting, she claimed that the girl 63 00:03:56,520 --> 00:04:02,600 Speaker 1: exhibited severe behavior issues and whired constant supervision, stating that 64 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 1: the child should not eat anything without her permission. However, 65 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: school staff quickly noticed discrepancies in Miles's portrayal of her stepdaughter, 66 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: as the girl appeared well mannered, but was often seen 67 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: looking unkempt and wearing inappropriate clothing. Teachers grew increasingly concerned 68 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 1: when they observed that the child was underweight and frequently hungry, 69 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: even resorting to digging through the garbage cans at school 70 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: to find food. The situation escalated in October when a 71 00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: teacher spotted an injury on the girl's face, which the 72 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:38,360 Speaker 1: child reluctantly revealed was caused by her mother's belt. This 73 00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: prompted Child Protective Services to contact law enforcement, leading to 74 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: an investigation. Into miles home, authorities uncovered that the child 75 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: was often confined to a bare bedroom without proper bedding, 76 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: and that an alarm was installed on the door to 77 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,120 Speaker 1: prevent her from leaving. Investigators also found evidence of severe 78 00:04:56,200 --> 00:05:01,040 Speaker 1: physical abuse, including being beaten by both Miles and her 79 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: other children, as well as being bound with duct tape 80 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 1: and heavy chains. Although Myles initially refuted the claim, she 81 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: later admitted in court to chaining the girl up in 82 00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: her room. Psychological evaluations indicated that the child was suffering 83 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,839 Speaker 1: from post traumatic stress disorder as a result of her 84 00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: stepmother's treatment. Miles was convicted of inflicting serious mental and 85 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: physical harm on a miner. She was sentenced to seventy 86 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: years in prison, with the possibility of parole after fifteen. 87 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,719 Speaker 1: The search for Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today's Show anchor 88 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,279 Speaker 1: Savannah Guthrie, is approaching one month and authorities have yet 89 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: to identify any suspects in her disappearance. The Guthrie family 90 00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: has offered a one million dollar reward for information that 91 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 1: could lead to finding their missing mother, as the eighty 92 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: four year old remains unaccounted for. Both the Federal Bureau 93 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:53,640 Speaker 1: of Investigation and the Pima County Sheriff's Department have made 94 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: significant changes to their teams following a final search of 95 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: the Guthrie residents. Earlier this week, the FBI pulled most 96 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:06,720 Speaker 1: of its personnel and investigators from Tucson, redirecting them to Phoenix. 97 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,039 Speaker 1: Just two days later, the Pema County Sheriff's Department also 98 00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:14,400 Speaker 1: withdrew additional officers from the case. This investigation is still 99 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 1: ongoing and will persist until Nancy Guthrie is found and 100 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,599 Speaker 1: all leads are exhausted. A statement indicated the Pema County 101 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 1: Sheriff's Department is redirecting resources to detectives assigned specifically to 102 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 1: this case. As new information emerges and is addressed, we 103 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:35,120 Speaker 1: will change up resources if need be. The PCSD will 104 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 1: maintain a patrol presence in the Guthrie neighborhood. This statement said, 105 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,479 Speaker 1: while the schiff might seem concerning, it suggested that the 106 00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: FBI's moved back to Phoenix is logical given the substantial 107 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,799 Speaker 1: video evidence they need to analyze. The decision to return 108 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: to Phoenix doesn't really surprise me, said one neighbor. I 109 00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: don't think it significantly affects the investigation. Maybe there's more 110 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: for them to do there when they're working on the case. 111 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: As for the Pima County Sheriff's Office, I've been informed 112 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: they will still have several detectives working on the case, 113 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: said the neighbor, although may not be as many as before. 114 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 1: In light of the situation, the Guthrie family has taken 115 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: proactive steps, reportedly installing a new security system in the 116 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:22,080 Speaker 1: eighty four year old's home after the FBI's final sweep. 117 00:07:22,520 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 1: For the latest crime and justice news, follow Crime Alert 118 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: hourly update on your favorite podcasting app with this Crime Alert. 119 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: I'm Nicole Partner
