Five killed in Texas shooting incident

Five people, including three at a nursing home, are dead after a shooting rampage in Texas.

At least three people have been shot dead in a Texas nursing home and two further bodies were found in a separate home believed to be linked to the incident, local police and officials say.

Two men and a woman were killed in the Retama Manor Nursing Centre in Robstown, with police saying the threat was "neutralised."

Two additional bodies were discovered at the home of one of the victims, according to Robstown City Secretary Herman Rodriguez.

The nursing home in Robstown, located near Corpus Christi on the Gulf of Mexico coast, was evacuated after the incident.

The circumstances surrounding the shooting or the victims' identities were not yet known, Rodriguez said.
