HOUSTON — Two people are dead and two others were injured in a shooting during a small house gathering, according to the Houston Police Department.
The shooting happened around 1:35 a.m. Saturday in the 4200 block of Madden Lane in southeast Houston.
Police say they were responding to the shooting call and discovered two men were deceased on scene.
Another two were injured and taken to the hospital. One of them is in critical condition while the other sustained non-life threatening injuries.
