Eleven teenagers were shot in an east Texas residence early Sunday at a prom after-party attended by hundreds, according to local officials.
Deputies responded to shots fired just after midnight at a private residence in Jasper County where the party was held and found nine victims with gunshot wounds, according to a statement by the Jasper County Sheriff's Office. Authorities discovered the additional two victims after they sought treatment the next day, Jasper County Sheriff Mitchel Newman said at a news conference.
Eight victims were taken in personal vehicles to Jasper Memorial Hospital in Jasper, Texas, and “at least one” of those were transferred to CHRISTUS Southeast Texas-St. Elizabeth Hospital in nearby Beaumont, Texas, for further treatment, Jasper County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Karli Cherry said. One person did not go to the hospital, she said.
Eight of the victims have been released from hospital care, Jasper County victim assistance coordinator Laronnia Gray said at a news conference on Tuesday. A second shooting within the city limits of Jasper, Texas, occurred shortly after the first, the statement said. There were no injuries in the second shooting, but a connection between the two incidents is being investigated due to a “common vehicle at both locations,” the statement said.
