Teen shot in the face when bullets fly outside birthday party in north Harris County
ABC 13 ^ | 13 Oct 2013 | Eyewitness News

The bullets start to fly overnight outside a birthday party in north Harris County, and one teenage boy ended up with a bullet in his face. That teen is expected to survive, but the person who shot him remains on the run.

It happened at a strip center on Aldine Westfield near FM 1960.

Harris County Precinct 4 deputy constables tell us it all started when a group of about 10 to 20 people got into a fight inside the birthday party.

They continued to fight in the parking lot, and that's when some of the other guests decided to leave. But as the teens walked to their cars, investigators say several people started shooting.

One teen was shot in the jaw as dozens of others were forced to duck and dodge the bullets.

"It was like pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop -- about three to four rounds," witness Karry Shaw said. "And a bunch of kids ran over here, banging on our windows, saying 'Please come in,' but you know we can't let them in."

No, parties and birthdays just need to be regulated and permitted. The fines and fees will partly pay for enhanced education.

It is!

Harris County is quite large — 8 constable precincts.

Apparently, from the article, "teens" and "people."

The press has become such an incredible joke.

Precinct 4 has cut their number of officers by about 60%.

That’s crazy. Did they have their budget cut or something? You’d think there would be plenty of money coming in with the booming economy.

The constable told me it was because of lowered property tax appraisals.

What do you expect from Houston’s SOBs? Civility? Obeying the law? Acting like human beings?

As long as Houston is run by black Democrats, you will have this type of animal behavior. Put is a black conservative and see how they will clean up the city and put the criminal trash in jail.

The decent citizens of Houston deserve better.

Must be the new math I keep hearing about....

I like the math genius they interviewed who said, “It was like pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop, pop — about three to four rounds,”

He says “pop” eight times and then says, it was “about 3 or 4 rounds.”

I don’t care how much money you throw at the schools. Some things just can’t be cured with money.
