Two people were killed and three others wounded in two separate shootings Tuesday morning in Carrollton that police say began during a business dispute.
Carrollton police arrested 69-year-old Seung Han Ho in connection with the attacks, Police Chief Roberto Arredondo said. Officers and fire crews first responded at 9:57 a.m. to the 4000 block of State Highway 121 at K Towne Plaza, where they found four adults with gunshot wounds. One man was pronounced dead at the scene. Authorities said the group had been meeting with the suspect inside Gwang Jang Korean Market when the shooting occurred.
At 11:13 a.m., officers were called to a second shooting in Carrollton’s Koreatown near I-35 and the George Bush Turnpike, at the 2700 block of Old Denton Road. Police discovered a second adult male dead inside an apartment. Investigators later determined both shootings were carried out by the same suspect.
Detectives who interviewed Han Ho said he confessed to shooting all five victims and told them he was angry “due to financial disagreements related to their business dealings.” Authorities were seen searching and collecting evidence at the market following the incident.
Several nearby businesses temporarily closed and some employees were instructed to shelter in place. “All we saw, most of all, was just ambulances, fire trucks, and police cars flying down the street. We hear the sirens,” said Richard Gossman, who works across the street. “First thing we heard was just sirens, and then we were all just looking out, trying to see what’s going on… It’s usually a pretty quiet area.”
News helicopter footage showed a large, multi-agency law enforcement response, including Carrollton police and the Texas Department of Public Safety. The city said it is offering support to the affected families. “The city of Carrollton and our partner agencies extend our deepest heartfelt condolences to the families of those who have perished,” Arredondo said.
Police said the investigation is ongoing with assistance from the FBI and the Texas Department of Public Safety. Updated on: May 5, 2026 / 8:53 PM EDT.
