Houston gunman had 2 weapons, thousands of rounds at scene
HOUSTON — A disgruntled lawyer wearing military-style apparel with old Nazi emblems had two weapons and more than 2,500 rounds of live ammunition when he randomly shot at drivers in a Houston neighbourhood before he was shot and killed by police, authorities said.
Nine people were injured during Monday morning’s shootings on the street in front of a condo complex. Six were shot and three had eye injuries from flying glass. One person was in critical condition.
Police did not identify the man and did not have information about a motive. A bomb-squad robot examined a Porsche that police said belonged to the gunman. Texas motor vehicle records in a commercially available database showed the car is licensed to Nathan DeSai at an address in the condo complex.
The man had two legally purchased guns — a .45-calibre semi-automatic handgun and a semi-automatic rifle commonly known as a Tommy gun —and an unsheathed knife.
