A shooting at a Texas college homecoming party left seven people injured Sunday night. The shooting occurred after a fight escalated into gunfire, police say.
Authorities outside of Houston were searching Monday for those responsible for a shooting at a large college homecoming party that left seven people wounded. Gunfire broke out around 10 p.m. Sunday at a Prairie View A&M University homecoming party near the school's campus, about 50 miles northwest of downtown Houston, according to the Waller County Sheriff's Office.
The sheriff's office said more than 1,000 people attended the party and that police were called after an argument escalated into gunfire. Investigators are unclear on how many people opened fire but said each of those injured was a bystander. A promotor, who authorities did not identify by name, held the party in the open fields a short drive from the university's campus.
Prairie View A&M is a historically Black college with more than 9,000 students. Sunday's shooting came a month after gunfire interrupted a homecoming event at a historically Black college in Maryland, wounding five people and prompting an hours-long lockdown. Police later arrested a 17-year-old in the shooting at Baltimore’s Morgan State University and put out an arrest warrant for an 18-year-old man. They said neither were students at the school.
