Gunman goes on shooting spree from Sugar Land to Houston Texas killing four people
HOUSTON, TX — A series of connected shootings that began as a suspected road rage incident in Sugar Land and continued across southwest Houston have left four people dead, including the gunman, authorities confirmed.
According to officials, there were three separate but related shootings that unfolded Monday afternoon—one in Sugar Land and two in southwest Houston—all believed to have been committed by the same individual.
First Shooting: Fatal Road Rage in Sugar Land
The first incident occurred shortly before 1:00 p.m. in the 12900 block of Dairy Ashford Road near U.S. 90.
Sugar Land Police said a female driver was found inside her vehicle suffering from multiple gunshot wounds following what investigators described as a road rage confrontation.
Officers rendered aid until emergency medical services arrived. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced deceased. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the shooting.
Second Shooting: Two Men Killed at Houston Auto Shop
At approximately 1:45 p.m., Houston Police responded to reports of a drive-by shooting at an auto repair business in the 13000 block of Fondren Road.
Investigators say the same suspect from the earlier Sugar Land shooting drove to the location and opened fire, killing two men.
According to police, one of the victims, a mechanic, was working on a vehicle when he was shot. A second man, who attempted to record the suspect on his cellphone, was also shot multiple times. Both men died from their injuries at the scene.
Third Shooting: Gunman Takes His Own Life
Roughly 15 minutes later, at around 2:00 p.m., Houston Police responded to another shooting approximately 2.9 miles away, in the 8000 block of Creekbend Drive.
When officers arrived, they discovered the suspect had turned the gun on himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities in Sugar Land and Houston are jointly investigating the series of shootings, which they have confirmed are connected.
Multiple roadways in the affected areas remain closed as detectives process the scenes and collect evidence.
The identities of the victims and the suspect have not yet been publicly released, pending notification of family members.
Officials have described the incident as a tragic and senseless act of violence that spanned multiple jurisdictions within a short period of time.
MT. JULIET, Tenn. — Authorities have identified two victims killed during an active shooter incident at Cedar Creek Marina in Mt. Juliet late Friday night.
The suspect, identified as Gary Haley, a convicted felon with an extensive criminal history, is deceased following an officer-involved shooting, officials confirmed.
Mount Juliet Police officers were dispatched at approximately 9:30 p.m. Friday to the Cedar Creek Marina, located in the 9000 block of Saundersville Road, after receiving reports of a man threatening another individual on the docks.
Due to the active shooter report, a shelter-in-place order was issued for the surrounding area as a precaution.
Upon arrival, officers located an adult male suffering from a gunshot wound.
The victim was later identified as Robby Brogdon, who was transported to a local hospital for emergency medical treatment.
Despite life-saving efforts, Brogdon later succumbed to his injuries.
Investigators determined that the suspected shooter had retreated to a boat within the marina and had barricaded himself inside.
The standoff continued for several hours as officers secured the scene and attempted to resolve the situation safely.
At approximately 1:00 a.m. Saturday, the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI) reported that the suspect engaged responding officers and fired shots at them under circumstances that remain under investigation. Officers returned fire.
The suspect, Gary Haley, was later found deceased aboard the vessel.
During the course of the response, officers also discovered a second adult male victim, Nathan Jones, who had been shot by the suspect.
Jones was pronounced dead at the scene.
No law enforcement officers were injured during the incident.
The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation has assumed responsibility for the investigation, which includes a homicide, an attempted homicide, and an officer-involved shooting.
TBI agents are actively conducting interviews, collecting evidence, and working to establish a comprehensive timeline of events.
Upon completion of the investigation, findings will be submitted to 15th Judicial District Attorney General Jason Lawson for review.
Authorities stated that additional information will be released as it becomes available.
