14 Shot, 1 Dead at Party in Houston

At least one person was killed when up to 14 people were shot at a party in Houston early Sunday, police said. The Houston Police Department began receiving calls reporting shots fired around 12:50am in southeast Houston, said Assistant Chief Patricia Cantu. Officers arrived at the scene minutes later and saw multiple people wounded in various locations around a home, she said, per the AP.

A family party was taking place, and an uninvited guest was asked to leave the home. That person is believed to have started shooting, which prompted return fire from others, Cantu said. Multiple people were in critical condition and in surgery, according to Cantu, who said some victims transported themselves to area hospitals. Police detained multiple people but were not immediately certain if they had the shooting suspect in custody as the investigation continued Sunday morning.
