Michigan Man Killed In Texas Mass Shooting Saturday

MICHIGAN — A Michigan man has died after being shot in a mass shooting in Austin, Texas, early Saturday.

Douglas John Kantor, 25, was one of over a dozen people shot Saturday morning. He was the only one killed.

Kantor hailed from Airmont, New York, but had been living in Michigan after receiving his bachelor's degree in computer engineering from Michigan State University, according to CBS Austin.

Kantor worked in the IT department at Ford Motor Company, according to the television station.

"He was loved by all who knew him and had an infectious smile that would light up any room," Kantor's family said in a statement. "He was loved by his family, friends and everyone who met him."

The gunfire broke out around 1:30 a.m. Saturday. Interim Austin Police Chief Joseph Chacon said investigators believe it began as a dispute between two parties.

Police officers rushed shooting victims to nearby hospitals in their own squad cars, transporting six victims overall to the hospital, as the area was so crowded and chaotic that at first ambulances could not get through, police said.

The shooting happened in the heart of Austin's thriving live music and nightlife district.
