GALVESTON COUNTY, Texas — Two people were flown to the hospital late Saturday night after a shooting on Bolivar Peninsula.
Galveston County Sheriff Henry Trochessett said a fight broke out between two women on Monkhouse Drive and shots were fired.
Two people were hit by bullets and had to be airlifted to the hospital. At last check, both of the people were in surgery.
It's unclear if the victims were the females involved in the fight.
According to Sheriff Trochessett, the shooter jumped over dunes and ran from deputies.
This shooting is under investigation and Sheriff Trochessett said he can't confirm if the people involved in the fight and shooting were participating in Go Topless Jeep Weekend.
At least 63 people were arrested in connection to Go Topless Jeep Weekend, according to the Galveston County Sheriff's Office.
Police actually had to shut down the event after the shooting on Monkhouse Drive.
