Khou – Two teens are dead and multiple others are injured after a shooting at what police are calling a makeshift club in north Houston.
The shooting happened around 11:20 p.m. Saturday on Jensen Drive at Topping Street.
Houston police said that when officers arrived at the scene, they saw many people running out of the club. Several people were injured and were treated at the scene.
A 16-year-old boy was pronounced dead at the scene, and a 16-year-old girl died at a hospital.
Three other people were shot, including a 13-year-old who police said is in critical condition.

“We are assuring the public that we are going to put all our resources in finding out what happened here tonight and who did this so we can bring them to justice,” he said. “If you were here tonight, we need your help.”
Menendez-Sierra said it appeared the party was organized on social media.
