A man killed himself and injured another man in a shooting involving a love-triangle at a home in northwest Harris County.
Authorities with Harris County Sheriff Office confirmed that the shooter had taken his own life, and another person had been shot before the suicide.
Speaking with KPRC 2′s Bryce Newberry, authorities said the shooter showed up to the scene to confront two men, one of whom was his ex-boyfriend. When the ex came out of the house, the suspect fired multiple shots.
One of the two victims was injured by the gunfire, but he was able to drive to a nearby 7-Eleven convenience store, and he was transported to a hospital from there.
The other man involved also came out of the house during the commotion, and the suspect chased him and fired shots at him. He was able to run and hide to avoid injury.
After that altercation, officials say the suspect shot himself in the head.
expected to survive. The two are possibly ex-partners.

Bryce also learned that the shooter was in his mid-60s, and the two other men involved were in their 40s.
The shooting scene on Donellan Drive near 249 and T.C. Jester was active for several hours, and the shooter’s body remains in the middle of the street for a long period of time.
An Aldine ISD school bus was stopped at the scene, but a deputy at the scene told Bryce that it was not involved in any way.
In an email to KPRC 2, an Aldine ISD source confirmed that the bus “happened to be driving by” with a student on board, and it couldn’t move through the area because police had marked off the scene of the shooting. The source added that the school was not notified of the proximity of the scene to the campus, which led to the miscommunication and the bus being trapped.
A staff member took the student from the bus to a different location, and the child’s parent was able to pick them up from there.
Aldine ISD’s Teacher’s Union president told KPRC 2′s Rilwan Balogun that the nearby Hill Elementary School was placed on secure mode in response to the nearby violence, but a lockdown was not deemed necessary given the circumstances.
