A third person who had been in the car also ran and was detained Sunday night at a gas station in Manor, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) northeast of Austin. Police said the person was a juvenile, but did not provide an age or any other details.<\/p>\n<p>Davis said earlier that the firearm that was used in the shootings had earlier been stolen by the 15-year old, and that the 17-year old was wanted for a separate firearm theft.<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<p>The city ordered residents of a large part of the southern area of Texas\u2019 capital city to shelter in place Sunday while they were searching for the suspects.
