HOUSTON - A man who wrestled a gun away from security guards at the
Immigration and Naturalization Services' main Houston office was in custody
Thursday shortly after he fired the weapon in the lobby.

"No one has been injured and the person who did the shooting is under arrest,"
Houston Police Department spokesman John Leggio said.

The shooting took place shortly after 9 a.m. The motive was not immediately
known.

Mirna Sorto, who noticed the man and witnessed his struggle with two security
guards, said she saw him enter the office and then leave and come back again.

"He came to the officer and tried to take his gun away," Sorto said. "They threw
themselves on the floor. That's when everybody started running. Then all of the
sudden we heard the shots."

The two guards who struggled with the man were treated for minor scrapes and
bruises. The identity of the man who fired the shots was not immediately released by authorities.
