Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said on Twitter that deputies responded to reports of shots fired in the parking lot of the complex in northern Harris County, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) north of downtown Houston, at 10:40 p.m. Friday. They discovered that three males had been shot. Two teenagers were pronounced dead at a hospital, and a 20-year-old man who was shot twice is expected to survive, Gonzalez said. Several people were arrested and the sheriff’s office was reviewing surveillance camera footage to piece together what happened. Sgt. Dennis Wolford with the Houston County Sheriff’s Homicide Bureau said the fight may have started at a pool party and several people had brandished weapons. “We don’t know who fired first, we’ve arrested potential shooters, we’re still working to figure out exactly who fired,” Wolfford said. “We will interview them and review the surveillance video to determine how this went down. below.” Gonzalez said both teenagers killed were 17, but Wolfford said one was 17 and the other 18.
