发帖数: 901 | 1 A shooting at the Jefferson County Courthouse in Beaumont, Texas, has left
one person dead and four injured, according to the Beaumont Police
Department.
Five people were shot, including the gunman. The gunman has been taken into
custody, but police have not yet disclosed his identity.
Rod Carroll, a Jefferson County Sheriffs Department deputy, told ABC News
the shooting was part of a hostage situation at the courthouse.
A county employee told ABC News' Beaumont affiliate KMBT that the victims
were visitors, not courthouse employees.
Beaumont Police Officer Doug Kibodeaux declined to identify the suspect, but
told ABC News' Houston affiliate KTRK that the gunman was going to court
with his family this morning when he opened fire and shot several rounds.
Kibodeaux could not say whether any of the victims were related to the
suspect.
The shooting reportedly occurred outside the courthouse, near the entrance.
This is the second courthouse shooting to happen in the past week. On March
7, a shooting outside the Tulsa County Courthouse in Oklahoma left one
deputy and three others injured. A barefoot man went to the courthouse plaza
and began shooting randomly.
Deputies inside the courthouse who heard the gunfire rushed outside and
fired at the suspect. The suspect was hit at least once and a deputy was
also shot.
