CARROLLTON, Texas (AP) — A man shot five people in Texas on Tuesday, killing two, in a city north of Dallas, police said.

Carrollton Chief Roberto Arredondo said it was not a random act of gunfire and that the victims knew the attacker, who was later arrested.

“We don’t know exactly what the meeting was about, but we understand it to be a business relation,” Arredondo said.

Carrollton is 20 miles (32.1 kilometers) north of Dallas.
