FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A man is dead after a shooting in the Briargate community, according to Houston police.

Officers responded to 16099 Blue Ridge Road at about 3:20 p.m. on Tuesday after reports of a shooting.

Margaret Jordan said she was home when she heard four to five gunshots. By the time she made it outside and called 911, she said the shooter was gone.
