A man was killed Monday afternoon after Houston police say an ongoing fight among middle school girls escalated into an exchange of gunfire at an apartment complex in southwest Houston.<\/p>\n
According to HPD, officers were called to the shooting scene on 11900 Oakmoor Parkway at 4:30 p.m. Upon arrival, officers found one man deceased and another man inside an apartment with a graze wound, police said.<\/p>\n
Police said it stemmed from a lingering dispute among the middle school girls who attend a KIPP school that was rekindled during their bus ride home Monday.<\/p>\n
“They had some kind of argument going on for several days. They got on the bus, argument started again,” HPD Lt. Larry Crowson said.<\/p>\n
Investigators said the fight continued in the apartment complex parking lot and then moved into a courtyard.<\/p>\n
At some point, at least two young men joined in. One had a pistol and the other had a rifle, said Crowson. An exchange of gunfire followed and the victim, in his late teens or early 20s, was killed.<\/p>\n
“Look around here. You got a lot of kids, a lot of people moving around this apartment complex,” Crowson said. “When there’s an exchange of gunfire over basically two girls getting into an argument, very distressing and very dangerous.”<\/p>\n
As of Monday night, no arrests had been made and no charges had been filed.<\/p>\n
A spokeswoman for KIPP tells Eyewitness News they are aware of the shooting but cannot confirm any information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A man was killed Monday afternoon after Houston police say an ongoing fight among middle school girls escalated…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":409534,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[7222,94616,56,58,57,8063,5171,143096,112911,12915],"class_list":["post-409533","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston","tag-apartment-complex","tag-exchange-of-gunfire","tag-houston","tag-houston-headlines","tag-houston-news","tag-houston-police","tag-hpd","tag-kipp-school","tag-larry-crowson","tag-southwest-houston"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409533","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=409533"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/409533\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/409534"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=409533"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=409533"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=409533"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
