A man dressed in a vintage military uniform emblazoned with a Nazi symbol and toting a "Tommy Gun" and a hand gun unleashed a flurry of bullets near a Houston shopping center on Monday morning, injuring nine people before he was shot dead by police. Six victims were taken to hospitals and three were treated at the scene after being shot at while inside their vehicles in the wealthy neighbourhood of West University Place, acting Houston police chief Martha Montalvo told reporters. The suspected shooter was shot by cops, and authorities don’t believe any other suspects were involved in the attack, police confirmed.The conditions of the shooter and victims haven’t been revealed. The first report of the shootings came in about 6:30 a.m., Police Chief Martha Montalvo said at a news conference, and the suspect began firing at officers when they arrived at a condo complex. The only information immediately released about the gunman’s identity was that: “He is a lawyer and there were issues concerning his law firm.”

Houston’s mayor, Sylvester Turner, told local station KTRK-TV that the lawyer was “disgruntled” and was “either fired or had a bad relationship with this law firm”. Two people were taken to Memorial Hermann Red Duke Trauma Institute and another three were taken to Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital.
