A Houston lawyer wearing a Nazi uniform— evidently facing issues with his firm — opened fire near a strip mall, wounding nine people before he was shot dead by police, authorities said.
Shots rang out before 7 a.m. local time in southwest Houston at an intersection with a grocery store, Walgreens and Chuck E. Cheese.
The attacker exchanged gunfire with police in a nearby neighborhood before he was killed.
His name was not released by authorities, butKRPC reports that the owner of a Porsche found nearby with several weapons inside is Houston attorney Nathan Desai, 46.
Law enforcement sources also told the station that he was wearing a Nazi uniform and that more Nazi paraphernalia was found in his apartment.
Martha Montalvo, the interim chief of Houston Police, did not elaborate on what weapons were found in the car during a press conference.
She said that she could not confirm if the shooting was an act of terrorism.

Mayor Sylvester Turner, who is in Cuba for a trade mission, told KTRK that the lawyer was “disgruntled.”
“He was either fired or had a bad relationship with this law firm,” Turner said.
Authorities do not believe any other suspects were involved in the rampage..
Fire and police officials said six people were hospitalized with gunshot wounds following the shooting — including one person in critical condition and another in serious condition. Three others had minor injuries from broken glass.
Witness Lee Williams said that he heard at least 50 gunshots over the course of 40 minutes and that the shooter would open fire at cars as they came near The Oaks condo complex where Desai lived.
His neighbor Jennifer Molleda said that the attorney, who practiced business, family and criminal law, had brought out an assault-style weapon when confronting roofers at the property several weeks ago.

Management at the condo told KHOU that Desai was not arrested after the incident because he had not pointed the rifle at the worker.
