They must have just changed the story, cause now they are calling the “citizen” and innocent victim.

nevermind

Sorry, never thought it was “as bad” as Chicago, just that it’s the Texas version.

Affluent area.

There used to be a Weingarten’s grocery there until the unions killed the chain. I believe it still exists as a real estate holding co.

"An 88mm anti-tank gun is a high-powered weapon."

And comes with its own delivery system, too:

One of those deceased is a suspect and the other is a citizen

So, there others must be illegals.

Didn’t anyone warn you about “little Chicago” ... Harris, Travis and Dallas counties are “no go zones”.... without at least “high powered AR-15s”!

You couldn’t pay me enough to live in Houston and many parts of Dallas but you’d see me there before you’d ever see me in that liberal cesspool of Austin.

Could be. I thought the reporter didn’t understand the difference between citizen and civilian. Or the others were illegals. Either way, the reporter needs to be put back in the mailroom.

Police block the intersection at Wycliffe and Apple Tree as they respond to a shooting where authorities say a gunman and at least one other person are dead, Sunday, May 29, 2016, in Houston.

(Gary Fountain/Houston Chronicle via AP) MANDATORY CREDITmore +

A man came into a Houston auto detail shop and began shooting, killing a man known to be a customer and putting a neighborhood on lockdown Sunday before being killed by a SWAT officer, police said.

Several people were shot and injured, including a man authorities initially described as another suspect because he was present and armed. Police said later Sunday they were investigating further whether he played any role.

Three others — two of them male and one female — were hospitalized with injuries police said were not believed to be life-threatening. Two officers were shot, but a union official said they should be OK.

Police, who said they have no indication yet of a motive, said they got their first call about the shootings around 10:15 a.m. The customer described as a man in his 50s had just driven in to the auto shop. Within a minute or two, authorities said, the gunman came in and started shooting. Others in the shop ran out to take cover nearby and call for help.

Neighbors described hearing many gunshots, and some drivers told local television stations their cars had been shot at. Police say they believe a fire at a gas station next door began when gunfire hit a pump. A police helicopter was shot at with a “high-powered” weapon and was hit five times, authorities said.

Stay away from the areas where they tend to be. And stay armed even in the totally conservative areas.

I live in NW Harris County and it hasn’t moved this far out ....YET!

Was one of the persons with a gun simply a local resident responding to a threat?

Was riding a bus in Houston when a conversation started up between me, an Asian woman and a black man from Houston. The Asian was looking for an apartment and got a new job in the medical field. She asked the black man where the safe areas in Houston were. He replied there was none.

I live and was born and raised in Corpus, so that freaking humidity is something I’ve unfortunately been experiencing all my life.

I will retire somewhere cold, where it snows all the time. That is my dream.

**************

Not sure as all the articles I’ve read or very lacking in clear details, imo. One now
claims only one officer fired his weapon so if true then all the other firing was civilians.

From another article:

At a little after 11am, the suspect was shot and killed by a SWAT team member. We’re
told that SWAT team member was the only law enforcement officer to fire a weapon.

“If he hadn’t taken that action that quickly, this likely would have been a lot worse
than it was,” HPD spokesperson John Cannon said.

Police say a second shooter was struck by gunfire and taken to the hospital. At this point,
the role of that person isn’t known. Police are interviewing him now.
