At least nine people have been injured, and the suspect shot and killed, in a shooting at a Houston mall on Monday.
The shooting occurred at a strip mall in Southwest Houston on the corner of Bissonnet Street and Weslayan Street, according to KTRK.
“As I was driving by Law Street I suddenly heard a big explosion,” Eduardo Andrade, 42, told The Houston Chronicle “I covered myself, accelerated and tried to get out of there. I did not know if someone was following me or trying to shoot me.”
“I felt the hot air,” he said.
The scene is still considered active and he bomb squad is searching a vehicle believed to be that of the suspect, who has been reported to be an attorney named Nathan Desai, the Houston Police Department said.
Authorities said at a Monday press conference that Desai was unhappy with his job and had “issues concerning (his) firm (Kenneth McDaniel at McDaniel & Desai LLP.)”
They added that a cache of weapons were found in his vehicle.
This story is still developing.
Active shooter scene still active but contained. Suspect DOA. Media staging area at Wells Fargo parking lot at 3900 Bissonnett & Weslayan.
