At least three people were shot tonight, none fatally, on the Texas Southern University campus, school and police officials said.
University spokeswoman Eva Pickens said the shooting occurred at Cleburne and Tierwester, near the East Garage.
It is unknown if any of the injured were students.
The shootings occurred during an event celebrating Houston area rapper Trae the Truth.

Has anyone besides me noticed that rap music seems to be associated with criminality?

It was probably black on black crime considering the neighborhood. I know it since I live in Houston and have been to TSU.

Cops better be careful not to jump the gun on arrests or risk being called stupid by President Purple Lips.

You are thinking like a racist.
You should know only white heterosexual conservatives can be associated with criminality.
Check the new Home Land Security manual for guidelines.
The knock on the door or the next ping you get on your computer may be the thought police ticketing you for thinking bad thoughts about rappers.

Maybe it was a drive by shooting to honor the rapper.

Kind of an “Alternative Culture Flyover”.

...celebration of the second "Trae Day," featuring live performances, train rides, pony rides, face painting and moonwalks as well as an HIV/STD testing site and free school supplies.What a helluva day--you can get your face painted while you're tested for AIDS, listen to rap music and experience a real drive by. A full day of family fun all brought to you by your friendly local University!

Aren’t drive by shootings a requirement at Rap Concerts, Funerals and Weddings?

There is no problem. There was a drive-by shooting and a rap concert happened to break out.
