BEAUMONT, Texas -

A man shot and ran over his daughter at a courthouse in Beaumont, police said.

The shooting happened at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1149 Pearl Street, on Wednesday morning.

“The shooter was there for a court hearing,” Riley said. “The shooter shot and ran over his daughter,” said Carol Riley with the Beaumont Police Department.

The age, identity and condition of the daughter have not been released.

Judge Larry Gist said the shooter was being tried on a charge of aggravated sexual assault of a child.

Riley said at least one other person was shot at the courthouse.

According to the NBC affiliate in Beaumont, two people were killed. Riley said she could not confirm that.

The shooter was also wounded by police as he fled, Gist said.

He ran to a nearby business that had about 80 people inside. SWAT team officers negotiated with him and he was taken into custody.

The shooter’s name and condition were not released.

Prayers for the remaining family members. This man needs to be put in the express lane for the death penalty.

I wonder if this was some sort of Honor Killing?
