Houston police are on the lookout for two suspects following a shooting that left six men injured early Sunday at an after-hours nightclub. Assistant Chief James Skelton stated during a press briefing that four of the victims are in critical condition, with no updates provided on the other two individuals.
Officials received a call around 3 a.m. reporting the incident at the crowded nightclub, which was still operating past the city’s designated closing time for bars, Skelton revealed. While police are currently reviewing surveillance footage and interviewing witnesses, initial findings suggest that the individuals involved were acquainted with each other. Describing the incident as a targeted attack, Skelton highlighted the issues associated with after-hours clubs, emphasizing their contribution to criminal activities.
“The Houston Police Department is actively focusing on these establishments to address the rise in DWIs and assaults, as demonstrated by this incident tonight,” Skelton remarked. Authorities are seeking a black vehicle believed to be carrying the two suspects involved in the shooting.
