Minnesota Native Identified Among Victims in Texas Mass Shooting

(Learfield News/Glenwood, MN) — A Minnesotan is one of three people killed in a mass shooting outside a crowded bar in Austin, Texas, last weekend.

Family members say 30-year-old Jorge Munoz Pederson, who grew up in Glenwood and later lived in the Twin Cities, died from a gunshot wound to the head.

His mother told the Star Tribune he had moved to Austin just last month for a new job.

Austin police say the gunman opened fire from an S-U-V on March 1st, killing three people and injuring more than a dozen others before officers fatally shot the suspect.
