Five people were shot Wednesday, two fatally, in what investigators say was a case of domestic violence in western Houston, police said.
Officers went to a house in the Briar Forest section of the city in response to a report of an 'active shooter' at around 2:45pm on Wednesday.
When they arrived, they found the body of a man in the driveway of the house he's believed to have owned, Assistant Police Chief Larry Satterwhite said.

Upstairs, they found two women, one dead and the other wounded.
A three-month-old child appeared unharmed.
All involved appeared to have been related to one another, Satterwhite said, but no motive was immediately determined.
