Seven people have been injured in a shooting at a homecoming event near Prairie View A&M University late Sunday night.
According to the Waller County Sheriff, four women, two men, and one child were hit by gunfire and left injured at the trail ride event which was being held at 35028 Cameron Road.
“The mass gathering was approved by the County Judge for the location of FM 362 and Cameron Rd. The party promoter agreed to follow the Judge’s instructions. Please avoid the area of FM 362 to avoid traffic due to people organizing parking in the approved pastures,” a Facebook post on the Waller Co. Sheriff’s Office page read.
Authorities said all seven victims sustained gunshot wounds to their lower extremities and at this time have no known life-threatening injuries.
Deputies have not yet released information regarding a possible suspect in this case.
It is estimated that more than 1,000 people were in attendance at the event
