Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said on Twitter that deputies responded to reports of a shooting in the parking lot of the complex in northern Harris County, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) north of downtown Houston, at 10:40 p.m. Friday. They found three men who had been shot.
Two teenagers were pronounced dead at a hospital, and a 20-year-old man who was shot twice is expected to survive, Gonzalez said.
Multiple people were taken into custody and the sheriff’s office was reviewing surveillance footage to try to figure out what happened.
Sergeant Dennis Wolford of the Houston County Sheriff’s Homicide Unit said the fight may have started at a pool party and multiple people fired guns.
“We don’t know who fired first, we have probable shooters in custody, we’re still working to find out exactly who fired,” Wolford said. “We will be interviewing them and reviewing the surveillance footage to determine how this went down.”
Gonzalez said both teenagers killed were 17 years old, but Wolford said one was 17 and the other 18.
