UPDATE: One person killed, another seriously injured in shooting

El Paso Police said one person was killed and another seriously injured following a shooting Saturday afternoon.

Police said they responded to a call about a shooting shortly before 5 p.m. near the intersection of Yarbrough and Santa Maria Street.

Police said a woman shot a man at a near-by house where he collapsed outside. The man got up and ran off. That’s when police say the woman began chasing the man and car-jacked a women during the chase.

At about the same time police say a patrol car arrived on the scene when the man collapsed on the officer’s car.

The woman got off the car she was driving, holding a gun, and that’s when the officer on the scene confronted the woman:

“The officer engaged her verbally, giving her the commands to drop the gun at that point the female that was armed with a gun, turned the gun on herself and expired at the scene,” said Kiki Carrillo, El Paso Police spokesman.

Police told ABC-7 the man was taken to the hospital with life threatening injuries. The woman who was car-jacked was not hurt.

Police said Yarbrough Drive south of I-10 to Carolina Street will be closed for a few hours while they continue investigating the shooting.
