Authorities arrived and found the driver--an adult Hispanic female dead inside and the male with a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The man was transported to Ben Taub hospital and is currently in critical condition.
Both appear to be approximately in their 30's. The relationship between the man and woman is not yet known at this time. Police are currently interviewing several metro rail workers and others who witnessed the incident, According to one security guard on patrol in the area, she saw a look of fear on the woman's face as the guard patroled the area nearby. "They were going back and forth, and she was looking at me and i guess -- when she looked at me, he went crazy and didn't care and pulled out the gun," said the security guard.
