TxDOT is launching its largest-ever seatbelt safety campaign. And drivers on I-35 through Austin are getting a reminder about how important seatbelt use is in saving lives. A billboard features the wreckage of a car whose driver survived a serious accident because he was wearing a seatbelt. The billboard will travel to other Texas cities over the next two years. There have been no arrests in the shooting Saturday night on Old Lockhart Highway.
Witnesses say a man shot the victim several times during a family gathering.
They last saw the shooter driving away in a white dodge pick-up. It happened early Sunday morning on 5th Street downtown. Police think someone stabbed the boy during a fight. He made it across the street before collapsing in front of a hotel. Mayor Kirk Watson was out pumping the low-sulfur gas Monday to help raise awareness.
