Two people were shot to death in the lobby of a Marriott Marquis hotel in downtown Houston.

The victims were shot around 3.30pm on Tuesday, the Houston Police Department said in a statement, according to the Daily Mail.

‘It appears to be a murder-suicide incident. Further info will be released at the scene,’ police said.

It was not immediately clear whether the two deceased were guests at the hotel. Their identities are not yet known.

No one else was hurt, according to investigators.

A witness told ABC 13 that he heard gunshots while he was on a phone call with his brother and saw multiple people run out of the lobby.

‘The phone actually cut off immediately so the first thing I did was call him right back,’ the anonymous witness said. ‘When I got in touch with him, he said (guests) were actually running out of a back door and were outside.’

The hotel is a popular destination due to its rooftop pool that is in the shape of Texas.
