Man opens fire
on UH campus,
wounds three
HOUSTON (AP) — A man taken
into custody at a college dormitory
opened fire at the University of
Houston-Downtown early Thurs
day, wounding two campus police
officers and a maintenance worker,
authorities said.
Thursday afternoon police were
continuing to search for the man,
who wrestled a .357-caliber revolver
from one of the officers, Houston
police spokesman Dan Turner said.
The suspect, believed to be a 28-
year-old student, apparently is the
same person arrested Wednesday
for allegedly fighting with a former
roommate at the dorm. The man
was released from the Harris County
Jail later Wednesday, officials said.
“He returned to the dorm and
started making threats,” university
spokesman Martha Cantu said. “I
think (the threats) were in general.”
There were conflicting reports as
to what time the student was first
taken into custody. University
spokesman Andy Gomez said it was
about 2:30 a.m Thursday, but Cantu
said the student may have been
taken into custody late Wednesday
night.
“He evidently was (in the main
building) for a while,” Cantu said,
adding that the shootings occurred
after a UH-Downtown officer tried
to handcuff the suspect.
Five injured
by gunman
at rest home
ARLINGTON (AP) — A former
retirement home resident armed
with two rifles burst into a board
meeting at the home Thursday and
opened fire, wounding four people
and sending a fifth into cardiac ar
rest, authorities said.
The gunman fled from the room
at the Masonic Home for the Aged
with one rifle tied around his neck
with twine, but surrendered peace
fully moments later, Arlington po
lice spokesman Dee Anderson said.
Four people suffered minor gun
shot wounds in the shooting at the
home shortly after 11 a.m., he said.
A fifth person, Willie Joe Wright,
67, suffered a heart attack and was
in critical condition at Arlington Me
morial Hospital, hospital spokesman
Tenya Woods said. The other shoot
ing victims were in fair cbttdition,
she said.
“Apparently, they had a board
meeting and one former resident,
who was apparently disgruntled,
walked into the board room and
started shooting at the 15 to 16 peo
ple gathered there,” Anderson said.
The assailant, a man in his late 70s
or early 80s, had lived at the home
for about three years and was aware
of the time frame of the monthly
board meeting. He had been evicted
or asked to leave the home some
time ago, Anderson said.
