4 children shot dead in Texas

Six people, including four children, were shot dead at a house in Texas before a three hour stand-off with police.

The victims were killed at a house in Spring, Houston, before armed officers chased and cornered a silver car containing the suspect.

In bizarre scenes, the silver car was eventually barged by a large police truck, which appeared to pin it to the ground, while marksmen gathered nearby. A second armoured vehicle arrived shortly afterwards to corner the suspect, who stayed in the vehicle for around three hours.

Despite being surrounded by marksmen, and having his car virtually crushed by the armoured truck, the suspect remained "cool as a cucumber", police said.

After lengthy negotiations he emerged from the vehicle with his hands raised, sinking to his knees before being arrested and detained. The Harris County Sheriff's Office said officers attended a property in Spring at around 6pm and found two adults and three children dead.

Another child later died at a hospital. A 15-year-old girl was wounded but survived the attack, police say.
