HOUSTON (AP) – A gunman and at least one other person are dead in a shooting in a Houston neighborhood where police had urged people to remain in their homes for part of Sunday.
Police spokesman John Cannon says there were two armed suspects involved. One was killed; the other was wounded and taken to a hospital. Acting Police Chief Martha Montalvo said police believe one suspect was shot by the other and the second was shot by a SWAT officer.
Cannon says the second person killed was found inside a vehicle. The circumstances were not immediately available.
Montalvo said two officers and three citizens were also shot, and a police helicopter was shot at with a “high-powered” weapon. At least two drivers told KHOU their vehicles were shot at.
