FOUR people have been killed in a shooting at an apartment block in Texas.
The Saturday night shooting reportedly occurred after an argument broke out in the courtyard of the apartment complex near Houston.
The deadly incident took place in Texas’ Harris County at around 11.20p, according to local authorities.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said they responded to a call and found four gunshot wound victims upon arrival.
“It appears an argument between the two parties led to the shooting,” Gonzalez wrote in a tweet on Sunday morning.
Three of the four victims were pronounced dead at the scene, the sheriff said in the tweet.
