Reuters reported the deceased protestor carrying the rifle fired at the vehicle first, and the driver of the car returned fire with a handgun. https://www.google.com/amp/s/uk.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUKKCN24R06G

“Initial reports indicate the suspect was carrying a rifle and shot at the victim, who was in his car, police told a briefing. The suspect has been detained, they said.”

Will have to see what Austin PD releases in the coming days, lots of conflicting accounts.

Texas considers ones’ vehicle an extension of their home as far as self defense so not a good idea to fire into someone’s car first there (or anywhere for that matter really).
