Six dead in Houston house shooting | |
(34 minutes later) | |
Police near the US city of Houston have cornered a man suspected of killing six people, including four children. | |
Police say the shootings, in the town of Spring, 25 miles (40km) north of Houston, happened after a domestic dispute got out of control. | |
One woman is in critical condition after being shot in the head, but she was able to identify the suspect and direct police to him. | |
He was found in his car not far from the crime scene, police said. | |
He had led officers on a chase lasting half-an-hour before they trapped him. Negotiations are now under way. | |
Pictures from local broadcaster KTRK showed a small car in a cul-de-sac sandwiched between two lorries with a dozen police vehicles near it. | |
Police were called to a house about 18:00 (23:00 GMT) and found three children and two adults dead, a Harris County Sheriff's Office statement said. | |
A fourth child died in hospital. |
