What was aimed to be a week of Hip-Hop discovery and good times at SXSW turned sour briefly as one person was injured in a shooting on Sixth Street.
Saturday night a report of shots fired at Sixth Street and San Jacinto in Austin, Texas, left one injured and incited a scramble of people who were on the busy strip of bars and clubs.
“There was a loud pop that I heard,” a man present for the festivities stated to Deadline.
