One person was killed and five others were injured following a shooting at a Houston, Texas, nightclub early on Sunday.
At around 2 a.m., police responded to the club, where nearly 100 people were in attendance when the altercation began. A fight occurred at Visions Nightclub before “several individuals produced firearms and began firing,” Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet.
“At this time, no one has been charged in the shootings,” Gonzales said, noting it was not immediately clear how the deceased or wounded individuals are related to the shooting or the fight that broke out at the scene.
Derrick Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene, while four other people were taken to a nearby medical facility for non-life-threatening injuries. One other person was shot in the head but is expected to survive, officials told a local TV station.
