The teens are expected to be OK, but neighbors and investigators said this isn't the first incident at this home.
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- Investigators said they are still working to determine what sparked a massive shootout in a west Harris County neighborhood on Tuesday afternoon.The Harris County Sheriff's Office says they were called to a home in the 15900 block of Seven Springs Drive at about 3:30 p.m.
Deputies believe two cars with several teens drove to the home for a fight with the 18-year-old who lives there. Investigators said the 18-year-old was shot in the abdomen and the leg. His friend was also shot in the leg. Both of them are expected to survive."There were at least four people shooting at the house and two shooting away from the house,"said Koté."The video was crazy to see in the middle of the day in a neighborhood. I'm shocked more people weren't hurt. There was a neighbor who was in a bed and a bullet came right next to her bed, but she wasn't hit.
The detective said a family member claims the 18-year-old reportedly recently purchased an assault-style gun, as home protection.
