A man dressed all in black set fire to a multifamily residence in Houston early Sunday morning, then opened fire on people as they ran outside, according to police.
The Houston police and fire departments began receiving calls just after 1 a.m. Sunday and responded to the scene, Houston Police Chief Troy Finner said during a news conference.
When firefighters arrived, the suspect, identified as a Black man around 40 years old, began shooting, although Finner said it’s unclear if he was firing directly at the first responders, who had to take cover.
