I like the third story better:
SAN MARCOS
Council acts on bar hour change
All council members except one gave the go-ahead Tuesday evening to a plan that would eventually lead to later bar hours...
..Alcohol sales in San Marcos bars end at midnight during the week...
New Year's is lame if not on Saturday. "Happy new year, now get out." Heh.

He will most likely going to be charged with something. It is not legal to continue chasing a person and taking pot shots at them if they haven't taken any of your property and are trying to get away from you.
Perhaps they will use the Benny Hill defense.

The only story I saw was that one the neighbors had 30 cal shot come through the window from some man driving down the street shooting a shotgun chasing a BG. Of course, they were talking about suing. It was on Austin ch 24 news.

Reckless Endangerement? I believe there is also a law against discharging a firearm on a public road. Attempted homocide at worst.

You just don't do that.
However; I can see the guy maybe in the heat of the moment just going Terminator with the shotgun trying to lay him flat on the pavement.

But shooting around the neighborhood

not cool.
