Two people were shot and killed and multiple others were wounded when a group filming a music video was “ambushed” near Houston, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said. After holding a media briefing in which he said two people were killed and four wounded, Gonzalez in a tweet revised the total number of gunshot victims in the Friday night shooting to eight. He said some of the wounded were being treated for “very serious injuries.” The sheriff said authorities received a call about a drive-by shooting around 9:30 p.m. The shooting scene stretched several blocks, the sheriff said, and it wasn't immediately clear what led to the shooting, FOX 8 reports. He described the victims as Hispanic males who appeared to be in their early 20s. No suspect information was immediately available, and the sheriff requested witnesses and anyone else who might have been injured to come forward.
