Houston motel shooting leaves two wounded and three dead, including suspect

A man allegedly shot and killed two people in a Texas motel parking lot and wounded two others before he died in a shootout with police, authorities reported Sunday.

Three officers arrived on the scene after they received a call from a person believed to be the gunman at around 11 p.m. on Sunday, who described he had weapons and could potentially shoot others. The shooting happened at the Palace Inn motel in northwest Houston, where two of the victims were killed before law enforcement arrived at the scene, according to a press conference with Houston Police Department executive police chief Matt Slinkard. Two others were wounded in the parking lot as police arrived on scene.
