Three people were wounded after a gunman opened fire on passing vehicles along Wayside Drive in Houston around 11 a.m., including a woman and her daughter in one car.
Responding officers found the armed suspect in a median and, after ordering him to drop the weapon, three Houston officers and a Texas DPS trooper shot him multiple times.
The suspect was taken to a hospital, no officers were injured, and a third vehicle occupant escaped without being hit.
Witnesses said the gunman was firing at cars indiscriminately while bystanders tried to warn approaching drivers away from the area.
Houston police and the Texas Rangers are investigating; authorities have not identified the suspect or disclosed a motive.
