Robstown Police said three people are dead following an active shooter situation at a retirement home in Robstown, Texas Friday night.

Two men and a woman died in the shooting at the Retama Manor Nursing Center Friday night. Authorities say the threat is "neutralized."

"Our hearts go out to the victim’s families and the residents, visitors and employees at Retama Manor who experienced this tragedy."

The suspect and victims in the shooting have not been identified. The shooting is under investigation by the Texas Rangers and Robstown Police.
