Houston police say several people have been shot at a strip mall in the city's southwest and that officers shot the gunman.

Police said via Twitter Monday that an "active shooter at Weslayan & Bissonnet has been shot by our officers" and that there are no reports of other suspects "at this time." In a later tweet, the police said that the suspected shooter was "DOA," describing the shooting scene as still active but contained.

Fire Department Assistant Chief Richard Mann says six people were injured in the shooting early Monday.

Houston police later said that 1 shooting victim is in critical condition and 5 others are being treated at hospitals; while 3 more were treated and released.

The shooting comes days after a shooting at a Washington state mall that left five people dead. On Sept. 17, a 20-year-old man stabbed 10 people at a Minnesota mall before being shot to death by an off-duty police officer.
