KYLE, Texas - A man is in custody after police say he shot and killed two people in Kyle late Tuesday night, says the Hays County Sheriff's Office.
HCSO says that around 10:43 p.m. July 12, dispatch received a 911 call from a man who said he had shot two people in the 100 block of Lawnsdale.
Deputies responded and found the bodies of two men, both with gunshot wounds. The caller, identified as 30-year-old Noe Raymundo Ibarra, was taken into custody after he was identified as the shooter.

Detectives are currently interviewing multiple people and working on notifying next of kin, says HCSO.
Ibarra was transported to the Hays County Jail and is facing a charge of first-degree felony capital murder. His bond is set at $1 million.
Mario Valverde works on the street where it happened.
"Just a bunch of cops pull up, started like, more showing up," he said, describing what he saw. "(He thought) Something serious must be going on, because they closed the street, so I thought it was something dangerous or something crazy going on."
One man in the area says he's seen one of the victims around before.
"It's kind of sad, because we knew the guy come through his lawn right there, it's sad because you see him right now, then tomorrow you can't see him, something happened, all of a sudden," David Marin said.
"It's crazy you know. I knew the people that lived in there, they're cool people, never thought they would do something like that," Valverde said, after he heard about what happened.
He even had to close his business two hours early because of all the police activity.
It's not clear what the motive was for the shootings or if the suspect and victims knew each other.
"It's just hard, try to be careful, everybody around you," Marins said.
