2 killed, shooter detained after alleged confrontation at Spring area apartment complex, HCSO says

SPRING, Texas (KTRK) -- Two people are dead after a shooting at an apartment complex in the Spring area on Sunday morning, deputies said.

According to Harris County deputies, the shooting was reported at FM 2920 near Ella at 5:30 a.m.

At the scene, deputies said they found a man in his 20s and a woman in her 30s with gunshot wounds. Both were confirmed dead at the scene.

Authorities said a resident at the apartment complex called a friend and said she was afraid of a man outside her apartment due to previous alleged abuse. The caller's friend arrived, confronted the man, and fired shots, according to deputies.

The man who was killed is the same man the caller said she was afraid of, deputies said. Authorities did not reveal the identity of the woman killed, but said that she wasn't the one who originally called a friend.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office told ABC13 that the shooter has been detained.

Investigators said the shooter was detained, but they said it would be up to the Harris County District Attorney's Office to determine if he will be charged.

Deputies said everyone involved knows one another.
