Children duck for cover as gunmen shoot up Houston block party, leaving man dead
A man is dead after several gunmen opened fire at a north Houston block party Sunday night, separating children from their parents as they crouched under cars for cover.
An upwards of 200 people were in the 5600 block of Chapman Street when four men started shooting around 7:40 p.m., according to Houston Police Department detective L. Lange. As bullets flew, several people – including children – ducked for cover or scattered, Lange said.

The man who was shot collapsed in the street, Lange said. Bystanders took him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Police did not release a description of the shooters, who totaled as many as four. No one else was injured.
The victim’s identity was not immediately released.
Anyone with information is urged to call HPD’s homicide division at 713-308-3600 or Houston Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS (8477).
This is the second block party shooting in Houston in as many weeks. On May 30, a man was killed and four people wounded — including two children — as gunfire erupted at a large block party in the 9600 block of Scott Street, where about 500 people were gathered.
