[Regnum] Two teenagers were killed and three others were injured in a shooting at a spontaneous party in the Texas city of

Houston
...a city in Texas, named after Sam Houston, who would drop deader than he is now if he could see how it turned out...
. This was reported on December 15 by the assistant chief of police of the city Luis Menendez-Sierra, Fox News reports.

"A 16-year-old boy died at the scene, and a 13-year-old girl died at Texas Children's Hospital," a police spokesman said.

The impromptu pop art party was held in an abandoned store, organized via social networks and mostly attended by minors. Information about the shooting was received by the police at 23:20 local time on December 14 (08:20 Moscow time on December 15). When police officers arrived at the scene, they saw teenagers running away, then found the dead and wounded.

It is noted that of the three wounded, one is in non-critical condition, there is no information about the others. It is known that the alleged criminal fled in a car. Information about the shooter has not been disclosed.

Earlier, Regnum News Agency reported that a woman was killed and two men were injured in a shooting in northwest London, and law enforcement officers are investigating. One of the injured men is in critical condition in hospital. The second received injuries that are not life-threatening.

On December 14, a shooting took place in the suburbs of Dunkirk, France. Four people were killed : two migrants and two security agents. A man surrendered to the police, confessing to the murders, and said that he had previously committed another crime.

ABC News clarifies:

Two teenagers were killed and three other people were injured when gunfire erupted inside a crowded Houston "pop-up party" police said was organized via social media.

The Saturday night shooting unfolded at a strip mall in North Houston, where an empty storefront was illegally converted into a "makeshift club" packed with juveniles, Assistant Chief Luis Menendez-Sierra said during a news conference early Sunday.

Officers answering a shooting-in-progress call at 11:20 p.m. local time found a "very hectic scene" with a large crowd of people running out of the makeshift club, Menendez-Sierra said.

#2 Beginning to think Twain had the right idea:

"When a child turns 12, he should be kept in a barrel and fed through the bung hole, until he reaches 16…at which time you plug the bung hole."
