Leander Police Department

The Leander Police Department is investigating an assault that occurred on May 24, 2026, at approximately 7:47 p.m. Officers responded to the 600 block of Los Robles Road after reports that a juvenile in a vehicle had fired gel‑blaster rounds at other juveniles in the area.

Two 12‑year‑old girls were riding their scooters when a beige sedan drove past and a passenger fired multiple rounds from a gel‑blaster style gun. The passenger was observed sitting on the front passenger window frame and pointing an orange and green gel blaster over the roof of the vehicle. One victim was struck on the left cheekbone just below her eye, and the other was hit in the chest.

Detectives with the Leander Police Department’s Criminal Investigations Division have identified the juvenile suspects involved, and the investigation remains ongoing. No additional details will be released at this time.

The Leander Police Department reminds the community that gel blasters and similar devices can cause injury and may result in criminal charges when used irresponsibly.
