Several gunmen jumped out of a car and opened fire in front of a Houston nightclub in the early hours of Sunday morning, killing one person and injuring four others, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
The shooting happened around 2 a.m. at Lounge 33 in north Houston.
“Over 50 shots were fired here, which is a very scary situation considering there is a mobile food truck and again, the number of customers that were outside,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said at the scene.
