A house party turned deadly on Halloween morning when multiple shots were fired, killing one young woman and injuring at least three others, according to the Houston Police Department.
HPD dispatched officers to a shooting in progress call about 12:50 a.m. Sunday in the 1900 block of Schlider Drive in north Houston.
Police immediately started to search the home for victims and found a deceased 18-year-old woman. During the investigation, officers learned that three more victims had been taken to the hospital, including a 16-year-old boy.
Investigators said the crowd of partygoers quickly ran away when the shooting started. There is evidence shots were fired in the back of the house and out front on the street, according to police.
A gun was found in a nearby ditch, but according to HPD Asst. Chief Y. Bashir, it's unclear whether it was involved in the shooting.
Bashir said HPD has one possible suspect and continues to search for more witnesses. Most of the partygoers were teens and young adults, according to investigators.
At this time, no charges have been filed.
The cause of the shooting is still under investigation. We don't have the conditions of the victims who were injured but were told by police the 16-year-old is stable.
