Houston Shootings: 3 Dead, Including Gunman, In Deadly Rampage

Houston: A string of deadly shootings rocked the city of Houston on Wednesday, claiming the lives of three people, including the alleged shooter. According to reports, the gunman opened fire at two separate locations, leaving two people dead and one injured before taking his own life.

The incident occurred at around 1 pm when a driver in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land fired multiple shots at another vehicle, striking the driver, who succumbed to injuries at a local hospital. Houston City Police Spokesperson, Alicia Alaniz, revealed that investigators are probing whether the shooting was an instance of road rage.

Around half an hour later, the Houston police received a distress call about a shooting at a mechanic shop located about 7 miles southeast of the first incident. Upon arrival, the police found a mechanic and a witness who had been filming the shooter as he fled the scene, both of whom had been shot. The immediate police response led to the discovery of the shooter's vehicle, where he was found dead, believed to have taken his own life.

Lt. Larry Crowson of the Houston Police Department stated, "Early indications are that it's all related," suggesting a connection between the two shootings. The description of the shooter and the vehicle matched the accounts from the Sugar Land incident, further solidifying the link between the two events.

The police have initiated further investigation into the case. However, the concerned departments are yet to release the identities of the victims or the shooter.
