Gunman injures 9 in Houston before being killed by police

A disgruntled lawyer who had numerous weapons randomly shot at drivers in a Houston neighborhood Monday, hitting six people, one critically, before he was shot and killed by police, authorities said. Another three people had injuries from glass or debris.

The first report of the shootings came in about 6:30 a.m., Police Chief Martha Montalvo said at a news conference, and the suspect began firing at officers when they arrived. Montalvo did not identify the man; Mayor Sylvester Turner told KTRK-TV that the lawyer was “disgruntled” and was “either fired or had a bad relationship with this law firm.”

Numerous weapons were found at the scene, a bomb-squad robot examined a Porsche that’s believed to be the shooter’s and bomb squad officers also were scouring the suspect’s residence.

The entrance to the condo complex was still blocked off with police tape late Monday morning. Several cars with bullet holes and shattered windows were at a nearby strip mall.
