Gunfire at two separate Houston-area birthday parties this weekend resulted in two people being fatally shot and three others being injured, officials said. During the first shooting, gunfire broke out around 1 a.m. Saturday at a party celebrating a woman’s 21st birthday, said Harris County Sheriff’s Office Sgt. Michael Ritchie. Around 50 people had attended the party at a home in Jacinto City, located about 10 miles east of Houston, when shots were fired after an argument, authorities said.
“We don’t know all the connections. That will be a part of our investigation that’s ongoing at this point,” Gonzalez said. In the second shooting, people at an apartment complex in west Houston were having a birthday party Saturday night when a neighbor began complaining to them about the loud music.
