(CNN) Houston police early Wednesday fatally shot a man who opened fire on a car carrying three civilians and at a patrol vehicle, the police chief said. Chief Art Acevedo described the incident, which occurred about 4:30 a.m. in the Hyde Park section, as an active shooter situation. The male suspect shot about four rounds at a Chevrolet Tahoe carrying three people and then fled, according to Acevedo. Investigators believe the suspect thought the Tahoe "was a police car coming," Acevedo said. Officers dispatched to the area heard gunshots and saw the suspect holding a silver revolver, according to the police chief.
