A teenager was shot and robbed of his scooter at Tidwell Park in northeast Houston on Tuesday evening, according to the Houston Police Department.
The sheriff's office said the 19-year-old was shot in the head by his 18-year-old friend. Authorities said it's being investigated as an accidental shooting.
According to police, the two 17 and 19-year-olds went to the park for some sort of meet-up before shots were fired, and one of them was killed.
Two 16-year-olds were shot and rushed to the hospital after a shooting in the Third Ward, according to HPD. The suspect boarded a METRO bus and was taken into custody after he stepped off.
According to the investigators, the 15-year-old boy walked inside the dispensary and was shot multiple times as he was leaving the store.
The shooting occurred just days after the Houston City Council discussed gun-related incidents involving kids. According to a dashboard, there were nearly 170 ER trips for kids 14 and under from gun-related incidents.
