HOUSTON – Since the start of summertime, KPRC 2 has reported multiple incidents involving teen violence. The most recent cases happened on Friday.
In Southwest Houston, rapid gunfire pierced the night outside apartment complexes on Cinnamon Lane and Beechnut Street. Police report that two officers, fearing for their lives, shot a 15-year-old who was armed with a rifle. The teen was among a group of individuals armed with guns, firing at officers. No officers were hurt, but the gunfire alarmed neighbors like Chary Martinez.
“I was in bed, watching a movie, and then out of nowhere, I just started hearing gunshots. At first, I thought it couldn’t be, but then it came consecutively. I knew it was definitely gunshots. I just heard people running, a guy running. I decided to stay in bed because I have my kids. I had to check on them to ensure they were fine because bullets have no names,” said Martinez…
