Houston shooting latest: Gunman shot at shopping centre near city after wounding seven people Houston shooting: Gunman shot at shopping centre near city after wounding seven people
(35 minutes later)
Police in Houston says several people have been wounded by a gunman who opened fire at a shopping centre before he was shot dead. At least seven people were injured when a gunman opened fire at a shopping centre in southwest Houston on Monday morning, authorities said.
Officers said they were not looking for any other suspects. Police responded to the shooting at 6:30am local time when the suspect was shooting at vehicles with a revolver, ABC 13 Houston reports.
Local media reported at least seven people were wounded and police said a bomb squad had been dispatched to the Randalls supermarket strip mall to investigate a suspicious vehicle. The lone suspect was shot by Houston police officers, the department announced on Twitter. Those who were injured were rushed to local hospital by emergency responders.
Police added that multiple casualties were being ferried to local hospitals. A witness told KPRC 2 Houston that she heard at least 30 shots fired at the scene and that the suspect has been shooting for 15 minutes before police arrived.
The Houston Fire Department told ABC13 that it received reports of man shooting at vehicles at 6.29am.
Jay Evans, a spokesman, said: "We received a call at 6:29 that we had a shooting at the Petco store...the first units were directed to the parking lot where the shooting was still active."
The shooting comes days after an attack at a Washington state mall that left five people dead. And on 17 September 17, a 20-year-old man stabbed 10 people at a Minnesota mall before being shot dead by an off-duty police officer.
