HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -
Deputy constables say at least five people have been killed in a shooting during a domestic dispute in northwest Harris County and a standoff is underway with the gunman.
The shooting happened late Wednesday afternoon in the 700 block of Leaflet in the Spring area. The Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office says a man shot seven people, killing five of them.
The suspect, who deputies say is a relative of the victims, fled the scene.
When emergency crews arrived, deputies say a woman with a gunshot wound to the head was able to tell them who the shooter was and that she believed he was headed to another residence at Anvil and Ella to possibly attack more family members.
We're told a hostage negotiator is headed to the scene.
