Drunk Driver Drives Into Crowd At Music Festival; 2 Dead

2 Timothy 3:1-8 But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good, treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these. For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

The festive mood of Austin, Texas’s South By Southwest Festival has been destroyed after a drunk driver drove into a crowd of concertgoers.

The driver also struck a moped outside the concert venue and killed the couple riding it.  The car then struck 23 people outside The Mohawk nightclub, with five critically injured.

Police say the suspect has to be subdued with a taser after ramming a van and then trying to flee on foot.

Officials said that the driver, who was obviously drunk, would face two counts of capital murder charges and at least 23 counts of aggravated assault.  Should any of the five critically injured concertgoers die from their wounds, additional murder charges will be added to the indictment.

The section of Red River Street near the incident has been closed and the club canceled all events.  No word on whether they will open tonight for any concerts or events.
