AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) — The suspected Austin bomber is dead following an officer-involved shooting on Interstate 35, three law enforcement sources confirm to KXAN's Sally Hernandez.
The shooting happened on Interstate 35 in Round Rock near Old Settlers Boulevard around 2 a.m. Wednesday.
Round Rock police say while northbound I-35 is open, southbound I-35 will be closed for the next four to six hours — up to 9 a.m. — due to the investigation.
