Several cars were hit and their windows broken, KTRK reported. Three civilians were injured in the shootings, police said. Their conditions are unknown. Investigators do not know what prompted the gunmen to start firing their weapons.
One of the suspects was wounded and was taken to an area hospital, after he was apparently shot by another suspect, Houston PD officials told KTRK. A SWAT team moved in to the scene and shot and killed the other suspect, the T.V. station reports.
