San Jacinto County Sheriff’s Office Investigators are investigating a mass shooter incident in the 100 block of Walters Road in the Trails End area of Cleveland.
Night shift patrol deputies were dispatched to a residence about a harassment complaint. While en route, the communications center received multiple 911 calls of an active shooter incident at the dispatch location. Multiple deputies arrived at the residence and located multiple victims deceased in a resident, and several others in critical condition from multiple gunshot wounds.
Allegiance Mobile Health arrived and requested an air medical helicopter to fly a pediatric patient to a local trauma center.
Montgomery County SWAT arrived to assist, cleared several properties adjacent to the crime scene, and determined that the shooter had fled the county.
At this time, four people were confirmed deceased inside the residence. It was reported that the 8-year-old child was pronounced deceased at the hospital. There were three other patients transported to the hospital. Their status is unknown now. Two additional people inside the residence were evaluated on scene and released.
The identities of the persons involved are not being released, pending notification of the next of kin.
This is still a very fluid scene and an active investigation. The Texas Rangers are currently on scene aiding with the investigation.
Judge Wells issued an arrest warrant for the suspect and assigned a $5 million bond.
More information will be released as details become available.
