Three Men Shot to Death in Houston Home
Three men tragically lost their lives early Saturday morning in a shooting incident at a home in Houston, Texas. The incident took place on Fulton Street, just off North Avenue north of Interstate 10. According to Lt. Wilkens of the Houston Police Department, the shooting occurred following an argument that escalated into a fight between a man and his girlfriend’s family.
Escalation of the Conflict
The altercation between the man and his girlfriend’s family took a deadly turn when the man returned to the scene with his brother and opened fire. The three victims, who were not involved in the initial fight, were shot when they confronted the men and asked them to leave. The motive behind the shooting remains unclear, and it is uncertain whether both brothers were responsible for firing the shots.
