Good Guy with a Gun #115: Austin, TX

Original incident: February 24, 2024. It's only vandalism until the guy charges at you with a knife. Then it's attempted murder, and you'd better be ready.

There’s a business park at the corner of North Lamar Boulevard and Route 183 in Austin. It’s a pretty big complex, with six good-sized buildings in it.

This is the view you get after getting off of 183. Building E, where the incident took place, is behind and to the left of Building B, which is in the foreground here.

I’m not saying the complex owners deserved the mayhem, but… their buildings are all labeled with Papyrus.

34-year-old Christopher Hernandez was slashing the tires of cars in the parking lot there at around 2:00 PM.

A man found Hernandez slashing the tires of his car — and when he confronted him, Hernandez charged him with the knife.
