Looks like two subjects shot it out with Police and swat teams in the Memorial up scale neighborhood this morning. One dead civilian and two officers wounded with one dead suspect and another severely wounded.

Update- Houston police spokesman John Cannon says authorities are investigating the role of a second armed man present during shootings that left a gunman and one other person dead.
Cannon says the second armed man at a tire shop was described as a suspect because he was at the scene and had a gun, but authorities are further investigating what went on. That second man was shot and is hospitalized.
Police say the two killed were a gunman and a person they have described as a civilian.
Cannon said three wounded people, two male and one female, are in the hospital. Two officers were shot but a union official says they should be OK.
Cannon also said a police helicopter received five bullet strikes.

From the news it said shotgun and pistol, so where was the AR-15
Might be propaganda from local news. However those police helicopters are hard to hit with pistols and shotguns.

Sounds like a pretty crazy scene.
Well, it is Houston. [:D]
So I am wondering if the second gunman is going to turn out to be a CHL permit holder rather than a criminal co-conspirator with the other gunman.
Not a co-conspirator.
A guy in Houston had a gun on him. Well imagine that. [:D]
FWIW - The bad guy in this was supposedly a US military veteran of some sort, with multiple deployments behind him.
Kinda figured that in the way it was being reported.
Yeah however on other side of the twist it's been reported a decorated Hispanic warrior soldier with 4 tours to the Middle East & was from California is the shooter with AR-15.

Dionisio Garza III is from San Bernardino County and served four tours of duty in Afghanistan. He was discharged from active duty in 2014, and doesn't appear to have a criminal history.
