NBC News reports that a 23-year-old North Carolina resident went on a two-county shooting spree through Texas over the weekend. Authorities chased the man, who was driving a pickup truck, for two hours.
Police are just starting to piece together the events that led to the two hour chase that left five injured and two dead. The gunman first shot a woman in her car at 4:30 a.m. She is still at the hospital. He then shot and injured two people at a gas station, but both were quickly treated and released. He shot and injured another when he headed back to where he came from. Responding to reports of shots fired, police found Alicia Torres, the only person to have died, in her car.
The police soon caught up with the shooter and engaged him in a firefight. During the shootout, the shooter was shot and killed. It was later found that the shooter had an assault rifle, a handgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
No concrete details have been released just yet, but police are investigating all the events to find a cause behind the violence.
