Suspect’s mom was fatally shot at nightclub

-

A woman who was killed in a shooting at a Midtown nightclub Sunday that also left three off-duty Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies wounded was the accused gunman’s mother, authoritie­s said.

Joseph Anthony Gonzalez, 25, was later apprehende­d at a Sugar Land hospital, where he tried to receive medical treatment for a gunshot wound, Houston police Executive Assistant Chief Troy Finner said. In court documents, prosecutor­s said Gonzalez shot and killed his mother in the shooting, but he has not been charged yet with her death. She was not identified.

The deputies — who were uniformed — are expected to survive.

Gonzalez faces three counts of aggravated assault against a public servant. He also was charged with being a felon in possession of a weapon.
