CLEVELAND, Texas (AP) — Police in Texas are searching for a man
who opened fire at a bar early Sunday, killing a person and
wounding five others in a county northeast of Houston.
The Liberty County Sheriff’s Office said the shooter arrived at
the Alas Locas restaurant and bar near Cleveland, Texas, around
midnight, reports KTRK television. The suspect ordered a drink
and stayed about an hour. He then went out to his van, came back
to the patio area and opened fire, the sheriff's office added.
Six people were shot, with one man being pronounced dead at the
scene, and two were taken to the hospital by a medical
helicopter.
Officials said they believe the suspect acted alone. They said
he fled in a vehicle described as a white van with no windows
and a long scratch on the side.
Authorities released no details of the suspect, a possible
motive or the victims.
Alas Locas describes itself as a sports bar and its social media
page features fat fried onion rings, nachos and fruity colorful
cocktails. It is located about 45 miles (72 kilometers)
northeast of Houston.
