A massive multi-agency manhunt including the FBI and U.S. Marshals was launched in Austin on Sunday for an armed suspect wanted for killing at least three people near an apartment complex.

Broderick reportedly spent 16 days in jail before he posted a reduced bail amount of $50,000. Court records reviewed by the paper indicate his wife filed for divorce and obtained an order of protection after his arrest which was a year after he received a promotion by the Travis County Sheriffs Law Enforcement Association.More Related News
