Tragedy struck outside a Webster movie theater last night, where an apparent murder-suicide left three people dead. According to KPRC 2, Webster police reported the incident occurred at the Cinemark Theater on Gulf Freeway. Responding to the terrible scene, they found two women with gunshot wounds who were then rushed to UTMB Clear Lake alongside the suspected shooter suffering from a self-inflicted gunshot, where all later succumbed to their injuries.
While authorities are yet to uncover the motive behind the shooting, the urgency with which the victims were tended to speaks to the swift but ultimately futile attempts to save their lives. As the community grapples to understand this senseless act, ABC13 details that the violence unraveled in the parking lot of the Cinemark NASA and XD theater, located at the 2900 block of the I-45 Gulf Freeway.
The names of the victims and the suspect remained undisclosed as Webster police continued their investigation into the circumstances surrounding the fateful event. Offering scant details, they confirmed the three individuals' deaths after having been transported in critical condition to the hospital following the shooting.
