A gunman shot and killed three people inside the AMKO trading center in Houston, Texas, on Tuesday, and then killed himself

HOUSTON, Texas (CNN) -- A gunman walked into a building in an Asian community shopping plaza in Houston on Tuesday, shot and killed three people with whom he had had "an ongoing feud" and then killed himself, police said.

The gunman, an Asian man, was pronounced dead at a hospital where he was taken with critical head wounds.

A police spokesman said the shootings stemmed from a dispute with the victims -- two women and a man.

The incident, which began around noon and lasted for about an hour, occurred at the Amko Trading general merchandise store in the Harwin Central Plaza on Houston's southwest side.
