Attacker among 5 killed in Texas nursing home shooting

TEXAS: Five people were shot dead, including the suspected gunman, in a Friday night attack at a Texas nursing home and the home of one of the people slain, city officials said. Police in Robstown, Texas, outside Corpus Christi, responded to reports of an active shooter at a nursing home about 7:pm local time, where they found two men and a woman dead, said Herman Rodriguez, city secretary, in a video interview with the Caller Times of Corpus Christi.

Officers later found two more bodies at a home connected to one of the people slain at the nursing home, Rodriguez said. “We do feel the crimes are related,” Rodriguez said.

Officials said the shooter was a male and that it was a murder-suicide. No further details were available.
