AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Officials say one person is dead and three others have been hospitalized in a shooting in the entertainment district of downtown Austin.

Captain Rick Rutledge of the Austin-Travis County Emergency Medical Services tells The Associated Press that one woman has been pronounced dead at the scene, and two women and a man have been taken to University Medical Center Brackenridge with gunshot wounds. There was no immediate word on the condition of those taken to UMCB.

Austin police said on their Facebook page and Twitter feed there were separate shooting incidents at approximately 2:30 a.m. within the same area in downtown with multiple victims.

About an hour later, police said the scenes of the shootings were secure.

Police had warned people to stay away from downtown.
