Houston authorities are investigating a disturbing incident that unfolded during a birthday party, where pleas to lower the music escalated into gunfire, leaving three injured.
The victims were shot at an apartment complex in the 6100 block of Winsome Lane in West Houston, around 1:30 a.m.
Investigators say the neighbors had come to the apartment hosting the birthday party several times and asked they turn down the music. The third time the neighbor came back with a firearm and demanded they turned the music off and fired the weapon in the air while they were struggling with it. They were able to wrestle it from him.
Police said the shooter went to his home, retrieved another firearm and began shooting through the back door of the residence hosting the birthday party, striking three of the complainants.
One male victim was struck in the torso, another was struck in the legs and an adult female was grazed by gunfire. All three victims were transported to local hospitals in stable condition.
Anyone with information is asked to contact HPD or Crime Stoppers.
