In Harris County, Houston, Texas, there was a shooting at a house party. The shooting killed 2 highschool students and injured 19 others. The shooting occurred late Saturday night in the Cypress area. The house party was actually a birthday party that was being held in a two-story home. There were more than 100 people gathered there for the party.
The Harris County Sheriff, Adrian Garcia, described it as "a birthday party gone wild." Apparently, it all started after one partygoer fired a gun into the air "in an apparent celebration of music." However, a second person "recklessly reacted to the gunfire and started shooting into the crowd". Most of the people who were injured, suffered gunshot wounds. One person broke their leg, trying to get away from the gunfire and comotion.
Garcia said that "Any time you promote a birthday party on social media, you have no control over who to expect at your door," Garcia said. "Any time that you have to factor in the possibility of a bouncer and being searched at the door, you've already taken a turn for the worst." Police have not found the shooters yet, they are searching for two shooters.
This kind of a story is so unnecessary. I can't help but think about all the poor people who attended the party. They were probably super excited to be going out, probably took time to get dressed up and thought they were going to have a fabulous time. Who would have thought that something like this would happen. This makes me re-think my decisions about parties and attending parties that I am not completely familiar with or that have the potential of becoming too big or out of control. 19 people were injured and 2 were actually killed. I sure hope they find out the whole story and who caused this.
