Woman wounded in office shooting in Dallas suburb

Associated Press WriterADDISON, Texas (AP) -- A gunman wounded a woman at an office building Thursday morning and was later shot by police.

The wounded woman and the suspect were both taken to hospitals, but their conditions were not immediately known.

Police would not confirm whether the gunman knew the victim of the 10:30 a.m. shooting in a first-floor office area adjacent to the nine-story Addison Tower. The officers who confronted and shot the alleged assailant were not injured.

One person was flown to a hospital by helicopter and another person was taken by ambulance, said Joni Ramsey, an Addison Police Department spokeswoman.

"Officers confronted the suspect, at which time he was shot by police," Officer Brad Freis said. "We don't know what led up to this. Hopefully, that will come out in the investigation."

The shooting happened near the back of the building, a witness said.

"Our people heard five to six shots to the offices to the rear of us," Burt Yarbrough of Addison Foods told Fort Worth television station KXAS. He said police took one victim through his company's office.

A routine investigation by Texas Rangers was under way on the police officers' role in the shooting, Freis said.

The office building was closed shortly after the shooting and no workers were allowed to leave or enter.
