MISSOURI CITY, Texas – Police say one person was killed and another wounded when a woman opened fire inside a food distribution business here early Monday. The shooting happened before 3 a.m., reports CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV.

One victim died at the scene, Ben E. Keith Foods, and the other was taken to the hospital for treatment.

Missouri City Police Captain Paul Poulton says the suspect is in custody at the hospital after also suffering a gunshot wound.

The alleged shooter was confronted by police outside the business complex.

The scene is considered contained, but police say secondary searches are underway in what’s described as a very large complex in case there’s another shooter or more victims inside.
