Police in Robstown, Texas, outside Corpus Christi, responded to reports of an active shooter at a nursing home about 7 p.m. local time (midnight GMT), where they found two men and a woman dead, said Herman Rodriguez, city secretary, in a video interview with the Caller Times of Corpus Christi.
Officers later found two more bodies at a home connected to one of the people slain at the nursing home, Rodriguez said.
"We do feel the crimes are related," Rodriguez said.
Officials said the shooter was a male and that it was a murder-suicide.
No further details were available.
