• Authorities said the gunman used a .40- or .45-caliber handgun and fired at least 20 rounds before fleeing.
• One victim later died at Memorial Hermann–Texas Medical Center, and two of the five wounded remain in critical condition after being airlifted.
• The suspect fled in a white full-size van with no side windows, described by officials as having a long scratch, and has not been identified.
