Police arrived and the original suspect was fatally shot by a SWAT officer, the only shot fired by a law enforcement officer in the incident, police said.

Bill Spangenberg and his wife, who live about a block from the shooting scene, had arrived home from the grocery store when the shooting began.
They were reeling them off in rapid fire. It sounded like an AK-47, he said.
There were a few shots, and then multiple shots that lasted up to an hour, he said.
It wasnt until about an hour after it all began, that it finally came to an end when the main suspect was shot and killed by a SWAT team member.

The gunman was killed by the SWAT officer about an hour after the shootings began, said Police spokesman John Cannon.

It started at the shop in the 13200 block of Memorial Drive at around 10:15am. When an officer responded, the suspect shot at the squad car. A photo posted on Facebook by Houston police after the shooting showed 21 bullet holes. Somehow, the officer wasn't hurt.
At a little after 11am, the suspect was shot and killed by a SWAT team member. We're told that SWAT team member was the only law enforcement officer to fire a weapon.
Police say a second shooter was struck by gunfire and taken to the hospital. At this point, the role of that person isn't known. Police are interviewing him now.

Still clear as mud as to what all happened in that 45-60 minutes.
This is what I can come up with from what I've read.
Subject1 (now deceased) was possibly on foot (or not) and was armed with a handgun and a semi-automatic rifle that has been described as an AR-15.
Victim1 (a 50-year-old male who was a regular customer at Memorial Auto) pulled into the auto detail shop. Victim1 was still in his car when he was shot in the head and killed by Subject1. Subject1 shot Victim1 in the head with a handgun.
All heck breaks loose.
Subject1 is thought to have started shooting random people with the semi-automatic rifle.
Witnesses say people began fleeing the area on foot, some of them scrambling over fences. This may be where initial reports of a third Subject came from.
At some point, Subject2 (later injured by gunfire and taken to the hospital, but able to speak to police) begins shooting.
It hasn't been stated who or what he was firing at. The story adjusted rather quickly yesterday to describe him as possibly a person on the scene who "happened to be armed."
Subject2 is possibly a proverbial "good guy with a gun" who started shooting at Subject1?
Law enforcement arrives. The first arriving unit takes heavy fire (21 bullet marks/holes.) A police helicopter is hit by 5 shots.
If Subject2 was a good guy, I would assume Subject1 fired all of the shots at law enforcement.
At some point a gas pump (located at a service station across the street? from the auto detail business) takes a bullet. A fire is started at the gas station.
I'm thinking Subject2 may have been located at the service station. If so, the backpack containing ammunition (and a birth certificate?) may belong to Subject2.
At some point SWAT arrived.
At some point Subject2 was shot. Possible he was shot by Subject1 -- explaining the initial reports of one suspect shooting another.
45 to 60 minutes after the first shots, Subject1 is shot and killed.
According to police, Subject1 was shot by a member of the SWAT team, the only law enforcement to fire a shot during the incident and possibly only a single shot if that reporting is accurate.
What a cluster.
