A man is in jail after officers found and detonated a large amount of homemade explosives at a house in South Austin, the police department said. Austin Police Chief Lisa Davis said police received a call around 3:13 p.m. Tuesday about the possibility of bomb material inside of a home. The APD Bomb Squad and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives responded to the scene. After investigating, Davis said officers decided the safest way to detonate the material was on-site.

When someone calls 911 for help in Austin, about 93% of those calls are answered within 15 seconds. But once those calls are answered, police, fire or EMS must then respond. And those public safety agencies are not responding as quickly as they should. Data revealed this week show it's taking longer than national standards recommend for help to arrive in Austin. Public safety officials blame staffing shortages, but also said growth and traffic are contributing factors.

The Austin Animal Center has a new five-year plan in place that city officials say is aimed at improving and enhancing operations after years of complaints and issues. Since the city adopted its no-kill policy in 2011, the shelter has met its goal of 90% or more animals leaving the shelter alive. But that has come at a cost, as the shelter has struggled with chronic overcapacity and staffing issues for years.
