Citizens of Austin,
As of this morning, approximately forty-five minutes ago, the remaining four suspects attacked the LBJ District's health center with what appears to be homemade explosives. Considerable damage was done to the front of the building and some personnel have been injured, though none of the injuries are life-threatening.
A combined investigation has already begun. We ask that all citizens respect this process and not interfere. In addition, we anticipate that the health center will be able to reopen within the next few days. If you need medical assistance during this time, please contact University Medical Center Brackenridge.
We advise all citizens to take additional precaution during this time. Do not travel alone, especially after curfew, and be on guard at all times. That said, remember that the events of the last three years have shown that the true spirit of our city is one of resilience and strength. These needless acts of terror will not dismantle the foundation of our society.
