"It’s unknown exactly what led up to this incident...but it does appear to be an isolated incident." said Bullock, adding that the department believes there is "no threat" to the public.

75-year-old Carl McDave moved into the complex a few months ago. "I hate that that happened," he told FOX 7 Austin.

The lifelong Austinite is calling on the community to end gun violence. "My opinion about it, don’t nobody need a gun," he said.
