A fatal shooting at a teen 'pop-up' party in north Houston, Texas has left two teens dead and three injured. Police responded to a shooting near the 10100 block of Jensen Drive on Saturday night after gunshots rang through a 'makeshift club' full of teenagers, according to the Houston Police Department.

After arriving to the 'very hectic scene' at around 11:30 pm, police saw swarms of teens rushing out of an empty warehouse. They found a 16-year-old boy dead at the scene and a critically injured 16-year-old girl who later died from her injuries at the hospital.

Three other teens - aged 13, 16 and 19 - were also shot and are being treated at Texas Children's Hospital. The 13-year-old girl is in critical condition, while the 16 and 19-year-old girls sustained non-fatal wounds, according to police. The suspect fled the scene by the time authorities arrived, the Houston Police Department wrote in a statement.
Sheriff Ed Gonzalez warned on X: 'These makeshift, unsanctioned pop-up parties can quickly lead to chaos and violence. These parties quickly come together via social media. 'Pop-up parties raise public safety concerns and teens need to stay away for their own safety.'.
