The Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office said a 13-year-old and a 4-year-old were killed in the shooting and an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old were critically hurt.

ANGLETON, Texas — Two children are dead and two others critically hurt in a shooting in the Angleton area early Saturday morning, according to the Brazoria County Sheriff’s Office. Investigators say one person is in custody.

The sheriff’s office said deputies were called to a gas station on SH 288B near FM 521 around 5 a.m. They do not believe that’s where the shooting took place. Investigators were working to determine exactly when and where the shooting happened.

BCSO said a 13-year-old and a 4-year-old were killed in the shooting and an 8-year-old and a 9-year-old were flown to a hospital in critical condition. At last check, officials said the 8-year-old and 9-year-old are expected to survive.

“All individuals believed to be involved have been detained, and there is no ongoing threat to the community,” the sheriff’s office said. “While the details are still developing, the loss of two children in such a manner is a tragedy. Our thoughts are with the family and everyone affected as we continue to learn more about this heartbreaking situation.”

An investigator told KHOU 11’s Michelle Choi that an adult woman has been taken into custody.

The relationship between the four children, as well as their relationship to the woman, is unclear.

“I mean, it’s somebody’s family that’s shattered,” Henry Hill, a bystander who came to the crime scene, said.

He has kids and grandkids. The lifelong Angleton resident said he doesn’t recall a case like this happening in his hometown.

“All of them being kids, sometimes [you] just wonder what the world coming to,” Hill said.

The sheriff’s office said a news conference on the incident is scheduled for 4 p.m. Sunday.

The Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office stated that it was assisting in the investigation at a residence in Montgomery County.
