Former deputy who killed three faces capital charge

A former Texas sheriff’s deputy was booked on a capital murder charge Monday after police say he shot and killed his ex-wife, teenage stepdaughter and another man during a weekend shooting that shut down a busy Austin shopping area and set off an overnight manhunt.

Officers found Stephen Broderick, 41, about 20 miles from the scene of Sunday’s shooting, which prompted active shooter alerts and unnerved residents in the Texas capital at a time when the U.S. has been wracked in recent weeks by mass killings.

Broderick was taken into custody without incident just before sunrise Monday on the outskirts of Austin.
