Austin Body Cam Shootout Unfolds | Texas News

Body cam footage captures a heart-pounding shootout in northeast Austin: Gregory Lane allegedly robbed and pistol-whipped a victim, then opened fire on Officer Stephen Abbott when the cop tried to intervene. The officer returned fire—no one seriously hurt—but both walked away unscathed. Lane fled into an apartment after ducking behind a car, and police recovered his weapon, shell casings, and bullet-damaged vehicles. A 12-year veteran, Officer Abbott is on administrative leave as APD launches dual criminal and internal investigations. Witnesses or tips?
