Webster, TX – A tragic shooting at a Cinemark theater on the Gulf Freeway has left two young women dead and a male suspect critically injured in what authorities are calling a double murder and failed suicide attempt.
The incident occurred around 8:35 p.m. on March 31, 2025, at 20915 Gulf Freeway. Webster Police and Fire Departments, along with other emergency agencies, responded to reports of gunfire inside the theater.
Upon arrival, officers found three individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. Two of the victims — both women — were transported to the hospital where they were later pronounced dead. The third person, a male suspect, had sustained a self-inflicted gunshot wound in what appeared to be a suicide attempt, but survived. He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition.
KHOU 11 later reported that the two deceased women were cousins, adding to the emotional weight of the tragedy. Their identities have not yet been released pending notification of next of kin.
Investigators believe the incident stemmed from a domestic or personal conflict, though the exact motive remains under investigation. Authorities are currently working to piece together the events leading up to the shooting, including whether the suspect had any prior history of violence or mental health issues.
