Calls of shots fired near SE Houston elementary school prompts multi-agency response, HPD says

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Multiple calls of shots fired near an elementary school in southeast Houston prompted a multi-agency response Tuesday afternoon.

Houston police said that at about 12:14 p.m., an officer with HISD police received a call about shots around the Bonner Elementary School. As the officer drove down the street, looking for where the shots were coming from, they reported hearing another shot and called other HISD police units to respond.

As additional units were responding, they heard more shots coming rapidfire, HPD said.

Police said that other agencies, including the Harris County Precinct 2 Constable's Office, Harris County Sheriff's Office, and Texas Department of Public Safety, were also receiving similar calls and responded to the scene.

A perimeter was set as an investigation got underway, but HPD said no known suspect information was available, and shell casings were not found.

Additionally, HPD said there's no hard evidence that the popping sounds were gunshots.

No injuries were reported.
