On August 28, local time, the US police said that a tenant in Houston in Texas was arson in the early morning, forcing other tenants to escape the room and took the opportunity to shoot 5 people, causing three of them to die.

According to police speculation, the suspect was recently ordered by the homeowner to be ordered by the owner because of the arrears of rent, which may lead to his emotional out of control and "revenge" behavior.

According to reports, the incident occurred around 1 am on the 28th at a mixed industrial residential community in southwest Houston. The local police director Troy Fenner said the police received multiple alarm calls in the early morning, saying that fire and shooting had occurred. The firefighters arrived at the scene first, but the suspect's shot at them caused them to be difficult to extinguish the fire. The police then arrived and shot the suspect on the spot.

According to reports, the suspect holding a shotgun fired to the five tenants who had escaped the fire. Police said two of the victims died on the spot and the other died in the hospital due to excessive injuries. The other two are still hospitalized and are currently out of danger. The authorities said that the victims were men aged between 40 and 60, and one of the killed victims was the property manager of the rental house.

According to reports, the suspect is a 40 -year -old man, and the specific motivation of the crime is not clear. The homeowner Tony Murkurio said that the suspect had rented it for 9 years here and had not had any problems before, but "has not paid the rent in the past few months." The neighbor said that the man had colon cancer and unemployment, and recently was ordered by the homeowner for arrears of rent. It is said that the day before the incident, the homeowner Murkurio asked him to take the key to the house, and he did not resist any resistance, but just said it would take a little time to pack things.

警察局局长芬纳称，房东的驱逐令可能“触发”了这次纵火和枪击事件，“这可能是一个导火索，但我还不确定，这是调查的一部分。”还有消息指出， The suspect has a history of crime, including the use of fatal weapons in 1997 to severely attack others. According to public records, he was still accused of drug -related in 2008, but he has not been arrested by the police.

"In the past few days, something must have caused a great blow to him, causing him not to care at all." Said the neighbor Robbin Allenis. He said that when the fire occurred, he thought it was a fireworks outside. "I'm glad that I didn't run out, otherwise he might shoot me."
