Authorities say a Texas teenager killed his mother and two neighbours before killing himself. Uvalde
County Sheriff Charlie Mendeke said on Sunday that 19-year-old Dylan
Westerburg gunned down his mother on Friday in their home near Uvalde,
about 137km west of San Antonio.

He then went and killed two brothers
who lived next door. Mendeke says a witness saw Westerburg kill one of the brothers and called for help. When
officers arrived they heard a final gunshot that investigators believe
was Westerburg shooting himself inside the neighbours' home.
Authorities
surrounded the homes and began evacuating those nearby. Not knowing the
gunman was already dead, they weren't able to enter the neighbours'
home until Saturday, when they found the three men dead inside. Mendeke says investigators haven't determined a clear motive.
