HOUSTON (AP) — Houston police are looking for two suspects after
six men were shot and wounded early Sunday at an after-hours
nightclub.
Four of the wounded are in critical condition, said Assistant
Chief James Skelton during a news conference. He provided no
information on the conditions of the two other victims.
Dispatchers were called around 3 a.m. to the packed nightclub,
which was still serving drinks after the city's bars are
supposed to be closed, Skelton said.
He said police are reviewing video and talking to witnesses, but
the preliminary investigation suggests that the people involved
knew each other. He described it as an “isolated attack” that
illustrates the problems of after-hours clubs.
“Establishments like this, that harbor within our city,
contribute to crime,” Skelton said. “So the Houston Police
Department, we are targeting these locations, and we’re going to
shut them down because it harbors the DWIs and the assaults, and
that’s exactly what we saw here tonight.”
Officers are looking for a black car with the two suspects in
it, he added.
