US authorities say a grenade-wielding man on a shooting rampage in Dallas and DeSoto, Texas, has killed four people and wounded four others.
The suspect has been identified as Erbie Bowser, 44, but the names of the victims have not been released. Authorities say it appears he was trying to kill a former girlfriend. It is believed she is among the victims.
Officials say Bowser's rampage began about 10.30pm on Wednesday (1330 AEST Thursday) in Dallas at a home in Long Canyon Trail. He killed two people and wounded two others there, police said.
Bowser then went to a home in the Galleria Drive, in DeSoto, where he threw a hand grenade into the living room before shooting and killing two women, police said. He also wounded two children.
When DeSoto officers arrived, Bowser pretended to be among the victims. But officers quickly determined he was their suspect and took him into custody. Officers also confiscated a pocket knife from him.
Authorities say Bowser has tattoos indicating he may have been an Army Ranger. He has been arrested previously for violating a protective order and evading arrest.
A three-year-old child in the DeSoto home appeared to be unhurt and was turned over to Child Protective Services, police said.
As events were unfolding in DeSoto, Dallas police had received a tip about the suspect's identity. They found out about the DeSoto residence while checking past addresses and were on their way there when they heard about the incident at the home, police said.
There were reports that some of the wounded were in critical condition. Before some relatives left the scene in Dallas to check on the hospitalised victims, they gathered with dozens of friends in the parking lot of Charles Acton Elementary School to pray.
