“I can confirm that there was one individual involved. That individual is in custody and the community is safe,” Carter told ABC13. “At this time, there is one victim. That person is deceased, and again, this is an active investigation. We are going to continue to work through that process as we get ready to notify next of kin.”

He said the incident poses no threat to the public.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Missouri City Police Department and USPS for comment but did not immediately receive responses.
