Several people in the vicinity of a Houston strip mall were injured by a shooter who fired upon vehicles on Monday, and the suspect was shot by police officers, authorities in the Texas city said.
At least seven people were injured, local media reports said.
Several of the victims suffered gunshot wounds to their extremities and a couple of the injuries were more serious, a fire department spokesman told local media. All of the victims were inside their vehicles when they were shot, he said.
"At this time, the shooting scene is believed to be contained," the city said on its emergency page.
People who were shot by the suspect were transported to area hospitals and the exact extent of their injuries was not yet known, Houston police said.
"I do not know if he's dead or not," Fire Department spokesman Richard Mann told media about the shooter. "I know that he's been neutralized and is no longer a threat."
