'Chaotic from the get-go': 1 dead, many wounded in Houston shootout
'Chaotic from the get-go': 1 dead, many wounded in Houston shootout One person was killed and more than a dozen wounded when gunfire erupted at a family party in Houston early Sunday, authorities said. Assistant Police Chief Patricia Cantu said multiple people were detained for questioning and that it was unclear whether the person who began the shooting at around 12:50 a.m. Sunday was among those being interviewed. She said the incident began as a family barbecue. "They had an uninvited guest, the univited guest was asked to leave," Cantu said at a briefing. "As he was leaving he began shooting in the area. There was return fire from residents as well." Cantu said multiple people were hospitalized in critical condition and others were in stable condition. She said she believed that 14 people in total were shot and that some of the wounded self-transported. Investigators were seeking out those people to find out more about what happened. 'Rust' fatal shooting: What Alec Baldwin said as film nears release Police spokesperson Jody Silva said Sunday afternoon that more than 12 hours after the shooting, that interviews with witnesses were continuing. Although multiple people were detained for questioning, no arrests had yet been made, she told USA TODAY. Christian Sanchez told KRPC-TV he was at the party when fights broke out. "Then they started shooting,' Sanchez said. 'One of our friends got shot. We had to pick him up, put him in the back of my truck. He bled out in the back of my car and passed away.' KPRC said it obtained a flyer for the party that included the message: "No guns. Leave the BS at home." Cantu said officers arrived within minutes of the first 911 calls, which came in shortly after midnight Saturday. She lauded the officers for providing security at multiple shooting scenes and providing a secure area for fire and rescue personnel. "It was chaotic from the get-go," Cantu said.
