Two killed and four injured in shooting in Texas residential neighbourhood

CBS 11

Two people were killed in a shooting in a residential neighbourhood in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas, police said.

The shooting, which occurred in Haltom City on Saturday evening, also injured four people, including three police officers. The injuries were not life-threatening.

Responding officers returned fire at the gunman, who died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to Sgt Rick Alexander of the Haltom Police Department. The shooter was found with a military-style weapon and a handgun, Mr Alexander said.

A woman victim was found dead inside a home, and a male victim was found outside on the driveway, police said.

An elderly woman who called 911 to report the incident also suffered a non-life-threatening injury, police said.

“The main focus is on how and why this happened,” Haltom Police detective Matt Spillane told the Associated Press.

The Associated Press contributed reporting.
