Austin police are considering the influence of anti-immigration rhetoric on the shooting suspect who opened fire on the city's Mexican Consulate and other government buildings on Friday, according to Police Chief Art Acevedo.


Acevedo brought up the "potential" political motivation in a press conference Friday morning.
