Deputies responded to the 6300 block of Steep Hollow Circle, where they located two individuals who had suffered gunshot wounds. The suspect had fled the scene prior to deputies\u2019 arrival.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2\">Both victims received immediate medical treatment at the scene and were transported to a local hospital. Sadly, we can now confirm that both victims succumbed to their injuries.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2\">A short time later, with the assistance of the Bryan Police Department and Texas Department of Public Safety troopers, a subject of interest was located at a restaurant near the intersection of Briarcrest Drive and Oak Ridge Drive and was detained.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2\">Currently, the victims\u2019 names are not being released, as this case remains in the early and active stages of the investigation. We do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the public currently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2\">The Brazos County Sheriff\u2019s Office extends our deepest condolences to the victims\u2019 families and loved ones during this difficult time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2\">We are thankful for the assistance and support provided by the Bryan Police Department, the Texas Department of Public Safety, the Bryan Fire Department, and Precinct 3 Fire Department.<\/p>\n<p class=\"copyright |\">Copyright 2026 KBTX.
