HOUSTON – Houston police are investigating after three teenagers were shot at a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration in southeast Houston.
The shooting was reported at 6:20 p.m. Monday at 8535 Martin Luther King Boulevard.
A large crowd had gathered at the address for a Martin Luther King Jr. Day celebration when the gunfire rang out.
"Everybody has something going on in their life, but it's up to you to make the right decision. If you come out here and you want to shoot up something that's all on you. All people are not like that," Valery Fisher said.
Two girls, ages 13 and 17, and a 17-year-old boy were taken to the hospital and are in stable condition.
"Right now, we just don't have a good idea of what happened. It was a very large crowd. The officer(s) couldn't see what happened. The crowd dispersed quickly because of the gunfire. So we don't have any real good witnesses right now," Lt. Crowson said.
No arrest have been made.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Houston Police Department Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-8577.
