HOUSTON — HOUSTON (AP) — A man is believed to have fatally shot three people at two different locations in the Houston area before killing himself Wednesday, said police, who are still trying to determine a motive for the shooting.
“Initial indications are that it’s all connected,” Houston Police Lt. Larry Crowson said.
At approximately 1 p.m., a driver in the Houston suburb of Sugar Land fired several shots at another car, wounding its driver, who was pronounced dead at the hospital, city police spokeswoman Alicia Alaniz said. Police are still trying to determine whether the shooting was the result of road rage, Alaniz said.
About a half-hour later, Houston police received a call about a shooting at a machine shop about 7 miles (11 kilometers) southeast of the site of the first shooting. The shooter shot a mechanic and a witness who was filming him as he left, Krewson said.
The description of the shooter and the vehicle he was riding in matched accounts of the Sugar Land shooting, Krewson said.
Police found the shooter dead in his car about 4 miles (6.4 kilometers) away. Authorities believe he killed himself.
Police did not release the names of the victims or the shooter.
