2 women killed and 2 men wounded in Houston shooting, sheriff says

34

Two women lost their lives, and two men sustained gunshot injuries in a shooting incident reported in Houston. According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, the tragic incident appears to have resulted from a romantic dispute. The incident took place at a residence in northwest Houston, where deputies responded to a distress call on Sunday morning.

At the scene, law enforcement discovered multiple individuals with gunshot wounds. Tragically, a 65-year-old woman and her 28-year-old daughter-in-law, both residents of the house, were pronounced dead. Meanwhile, two men were rushed to a hospital and are currently in serious but stable condition. Remarkably, a 2-year-old child who was inside the house during the shooting managed to escape unharmed, thanks to the quick actions of a relative.

The investigation into this distressing event is still ongoing, with authorities attempting to piece together the sequence of events. It appears that the dispute involved multiple shooters and a total of seven individuals. Sheriff Gonzalez initially stated on the platform formerly known as Twitter that the shooting might have been triggered by a breakup or divorce.

While most of the gunfire occurred within the confines of a residential home situated approximately 20 miles northwest of downtown Houston, evidence of gunfire outside the residence was also discovered, according to Sheriff Gonzalez. At present, the sheriff has not disclosed the identities of the victims or the suspected shooters but has assured the public that there is no ongoing threat to the community.
