HOUSTON - The gunman who carried out Monday morning's shooting that wounded nine people was wearing what appeared to be Nazi paraphernalia, two law enforcement sources told Channel 2 Investigates' Robert Arnold.


The shooting was reported just after 6 a.m. near a shopping center on the northwest corner of Weslayan and Bissonnet streets.


Interim Houston Police Chief Martha Montalvo said that officers responded to the scene and were able to quickly locate the gunman in the 4400 block of Law Street. She said the shooter immediately began firing at the officers and they returned fire.


The gunman was found dead shortly after, she said.


"It’s my understanding that he was neutralized by police," Montalvo said.


Law enforcement sources said that the shooter was wearing what appeared to be an antique German uniform with Swastikas on it.
