AUSTIN, Texas — Authorities provided few details Saturday about the Texas state judge who was shot and wounded in the driveway of her Austin home.

District Judge Julie Kocurek remained hospitalized with injuries that are not believed to be life-threatening. She was wounded shortly after 10 p.m. Friday upon returning to her home in the well-to-do Terrytown neighborhood.

Authorities began a large manhunt Friday night, but as of midday Saturday, no arrests had been made.

“At this point we don’t have a lot of information about the suspect,” Austin Police Cmdr. Mark Spangler said at a news conference overnight. Police had no further details about motive or information from the scene on Saturday, but said more information would be released later in the day.
