Draggingtree Posted May 29, 2016 Author Share Posted May 29, 2016 2 shooters open fire in West Houston By Jessica Hamilton and Lauren Caruba Updated 3:49 pm, Sunday, May 29, 2016 Two shooters opened fire on police officers and residents in west Houston on Sunday morning, leaving one person dead, two police officers wounded and three others injured. One of the shooters was also killed by a SWAT officer at the scene, which unfolded at 13200 Memorial at 10:15 a.m. The other shooter was shot by police and is in critical condition at an area hospital, said interim Houston Police Chief Martha Montalvo in a press conference Sunday afternoon . The shooting occurred at Memorial Drive Tire & Auto Center. A fire at a gas station across the street may have started when a bullet from the fire exchanged between the shooters and police struck a gas pump, Montalvo said. Armed with AR-15s, the shooters left five bullet holes in a police helicopter circling over the active shooting scene. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=8&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjXm_CnqYDNAhVFxoMKHRXMB2oQqQIIMzAH&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.chron.com%2Fhouston%2Farticle%2FActive-shooter-reported-in-West-Houston-7952041.php&usg=AFQjCNEz9KJgZTECnPPCR-xBh7S54GV4eQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clearvision Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 @Draggingtree Very strange: Lots of new details here, including police leaving behind a bunch of evidence, scout saving shooting victim and "coverup". http://abc13.com/news/mystery-surrounds-west-houston-mass-shooting/1362286/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
