| HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Authorities are investigating after dozens of shots were fired in east Houston. According to a detective, the incident began as a home invasion at the 7000 block of Sherman. Authorities say the homeowner defended himself when the suspects entered the home. Following the shooting, the suspects fled from the scene. Police have set up a perimeter stretching from Harrisburg to Sherman to Capitol, along 71st Street. At another scene, a vehicle was found about two blocks from the shooting, where a man was found dead in the backseat. Authorities say that out of five people shot, three of them died. A witness at the scene says he went outside when he heard the shots to make sure he wasn't dreaming. In the exclusive interview, the man added he saw two other guys in the front of the home, on the ground. "I heard around five or six gunshots. I'm pretty sure there were more before that," he said. At some point, officers with guns drawn were seen searching a port-a-potty. |

| #7 It's apparently a neighbor in transition from bad to better. So while it's possible this was a raid on a dealers house, it might also be a raid on what used to be a dealer's house but is no longer. Some have speculated he knew they were coming and ambushed them. Dunno. Moredeadcriminals. |

| #3 I searched the story, discovered that the 20 year old homeowner (impressive!) was distantly acquainted with the bad guys. It is interesting that no names at all are mentioned, There is news video of neighbours being interviewed in English and Spanish, and a few seconds of female relatives of the bad guys clinging to one another as they cry in the street over their loss — but nothing at all related to the homeowner. Very odd. |

| #2 I've heard they've been having Amish problems lately. Hard to tell since there's no descriptions of the perps. |

| #1 officers with guns drawn were seen searching a port-a-potty. "We asked ourselves, where would a piece of sh1t hide? It seemed logical" |
