A shooting at a house party in southeast Houston early Sunday morning left at least one person dead and up to 14 others injured, according to the Houston Police Department.
Officers began receiving emergency calls around 12:50 a.m. reporting gunfire in the Cherry Hill area.
Assistant Police Chief Patricia Cantu told reporters during a press briefing that police arrived within minutes to find multiple victims with gunshot wounds scattered around the property.
The incident took place during a family gathering. According to investigators, an uninvited guest was asked to leave the event but allegedly returned and opened fire. Other attendees reportedly responded by firing back, turning the party into a chaotic and deadly scene.
The Houston Fire Department also responded to the incident. At least one fatality was confirmed at the scene, while several of the wounded were reported to be in critical condition and undergoing emergency surgeries.
Some victims managed to transport themselves to nearby hospitals, Cantu added.
