A man on Wednesday walked into the real estate office where he worked and fatally shot two women and critically wounded another, authorities of San Antonio,Texas said.

The shooter later killed himself while he was driving a sport utility vehicle being chased by police near Temple, about 135 miles northeast of San Antonio, officials said.

"He walked in, approached these three employees, shot them, then ran," said San Antonio Police Sgt. Gabe Trevino. He said those killed were shot multiple times.

The wounded woman was taken by helicopter to University Hospital with a single gunshot wound.

The suspect, who wasn't immediately identified, fled police in a black Ford Explorer. As officers tailing him on Interstate 35 closed in, the vehicle struck a barrier, crossed the median and halted in a cornfield. The man shot himself in the head, police said.
