A week after Barack Obama's proposed gun restrictions, another shooting has broken out in an educational institution. This time at a Texas college. Hip Hop Wired reports:
(January 22) Yesterday, a shooting at a Houston area college took place that sent three individuals to area hospitals for treatment.
Local NBC television affiliate KPRC reports
that gunshots rang out at the Lone Star College in northern Harris
County around 12:30 p.m. central time. Although reports by various news
outlets reported serious injuries from the three persons wounded, no
official report from both Ben Taub Hospital and Memorial Hermann
Hospital has been officially released. Police say a person of interest
has been placed in custody, as a search for another suspect is well
underway.
Reginald Neal, an uncle of 24-year-old shooting victim Jody Neal,
told KPRC that his nephew was shot three times. "All I know he got shot
three times. That's all I know," Reginald Neal said to KPRC. "He got
shot in one of his arms, in the stomach and the leg." The victim's
sister Stacy Neal added, “He was sitting in the study room. There [were]
three people on the computer and a guy walked up the stairs and opened
fire on him. They said it was just one guy that came in with a gun.”
Lone Star College tweeted earlier
today that the shooting took place between two individuals, stating
that the incident has “been mitigated” and that authorities had taken
control of the situation. The school has been evacuated and closed for
the day.
Police are currently on the lookout for a Black male aged 18-to-20
wearing a red shirt and Atlanta Falcons baseball cap who fled to a
nearby neighborhood.
