A man shot dead three people at two different locations in the Houston area of the US on Wednesday and then shot himself. Police gave this information.
Police said they are trying to find out the motive behind the firing. “Early indications are that these cases are related,” said Lt. Larry Crossan of the Houston Police Department.
Around 1 p.m., a man fired several shots at another vehicle in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land, wounding the driver and declaring him dead at a hospital, city police spokeswoman Alicia Alaniz said.
Alaniz said police were still trying to determine whether the shooting was a case of ‘road rage’. About a half-hour later, Houston police received a report of shots fired at a mechanic shop about 11 kilometers southeast of the scene of the first shooting.
Crossan said the attacker shot a mechanic and a witness who was filming him. He said the police found the attacker dead in his car about 6.4 kilometers away. Authorities believe he committed suicide. Police have not released the names of the dead or the attacker.
