A shooting at a makeshift club in Houston, Texas, resulted in the tragic deaths of two teenagers and injuries to four others, including a critically injured 13-year-old girl. The incident occurred late on Saturday night at a venue called 'The Curfew Club,' where police arrived to find a chaotic scene with many juveniles and young adults fleeing the area. A 16-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene, and a 14-year-old girl succumbed to her injuries at a hospital. The injured victims, all female, ranged in age from 13 to 19, with varying conditions upon hospital admission. Witnesses described the shooter as a tall, thin man dressed in all black, including a hooded sweatshirt and a mask, who fired into the crowd. The event, which appeared to be organized via social media, was held in an empty business premises. Houston police, led by Assistant Chief Luis Menendez-Sierra, are actively seeking information to identify and apprehend the suspect, emphasizing the need for community assistance in the investigation. Houston Mayor John Whitmire and Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez have both spoken on the incident, highlighting the dangers of such unsanctioned pop-up parties.
