HOUSTON – Authorities say a gunman and at least one other person are dead in a shooting in Houston.

Police spokesman John Cannon says there were two armed suspects involved. One was killed and the second was wounded and taken to a hospital. Cannon says the second person killed was found inside a vehicle. The circumstances of the death were not immediately available.

WATCH: Witnesses told police that the suspect had “simply driven in there, parked his car to get detailed. Within a minute or two, that’s when the suspect came out unprovoked and just fatally shot him for no apparent reason,” John  Cannon of the Houston Police Department said.

Authorities had urged residents of the west side neighbourhood to remain in their homes amid reports of a man firing a weapon. That warning was lifted later Saturday afternoon.

At least one motorist told Houston television station KHOU his pickup truck was hit by a bullet that went through a door.

Authorities have blocked several streets in the area. Cannon describes the scene as an active investigation.
