3 teenagers shot by masked gunman while walking on sidewalk in SE Houston, police say

Police said the youngest boy, who is 14 years old, was shot twice -- once in the chest and once in the leg.

A second teen, who is 16 years old, was shot in the leg, police said. Officers had to apply a tourniquet to stop the bleeding.The third teen, who is also 16 years old, was shot in the stomach but was able to run to a nearby 7-Eleven to call for help. Someone picked him up and took him to the hospital, where police said he was treated and stabilized.

Police were able to recover the gun at the scene, but still don't know why the shooting happened in the first place.A neighbor who called 911 told ABC13 he heard the gunshots and heard the teens calling for help. He said he saw the gunman toss his weapon. The neighbor said at this point, he is tired of the violence and is ready to move his family out of the area.

"At 2, 3 in the morning, teenagers really need to be in the house. Parents need to be vigilant on where their kids are to keep them safe," Lt. J.P. Horelica said."We don't want anything happening to our kids in this community. The best way to keep them safe is to keep them home with you."Anyone with information is urged to contact the HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division at 713-308-8800 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

Stitch up. It’s so obvious now. Anti-gun zeolites killing kids in false flag ops. Right out of the anarchists playbook.

HarrisCoJudge This is you!!! Texans had guns before and after your disaster. But this is all on your watch and ole sly!! Your penance should be toapologize to every one of their families!

In less than two days, at least five kids across the Houston area have been the victims of gun violence. The two youngest victims both died from their injuries. Sad for the kids. Unfortunately, nothing of significance will be done.

AR-15s? Cause we’ve been told AR-15 is the problem and if only we could ban them, then we’d solve all our issues.

Now tell the whole story. How many of those guns are legally owned guns. Tell that part and your narrative falls apart. Made up. Was all the time.
