Houston police say a man evicted from an apartment building set fire to the house to lure out other tenants, then shot three dead and wounded two others
The incident happened at about 1 a.m. Sunday in a mixed industrial-residential neighborhood in southwest Houston. Police and fire crews responded to the apartment house after reports of the fire, police Chief Troy Finner said. After firefighters arrived, the man shot at them as they battled the blaze, forcing them to take cover until police officers spotted the prone gunman and shot him dead, Finner said.
“I’m just fortunate that I didn’t go outside because he probably would have shot me too,” he told the newspaper.
