The suspect accused of shooting two Houston police officers has been identified as a Cobb County man.

The man, Jesse Brown, 20, shot and killed himself after shooting two officers, Channel 13, the ABC affiliate in Houston, reported. Brown was carrying a Georgia driver's license with a Marietta address and had a bus ticket to Marietta, according to the report.

Brown was detained after allegedly trying to board a bus with a bag containing two semi-automatic weapons, police said. He was also the suspect in a triple shooting in California.

Brown would not cooperate with officers at the bus station, so Officer Fernando Meza shot the man with a TASER, Channel 13 reported. The man returned fire, hitting Meza in the hand and fleeing, leaving the gun behind. Brown then allegedly shot Officer Timothy Moore in the leg at a McDonald's parking lot.

Brown allegedly fired shots at another officer, who was not injured, before he allegedly shot himself in the head. He was found dead in the stairwell of a parking lot.
