HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — An investigation is underway after three teenagers were killed during a shootout in southwest Houston on Tuesday.

The Houston Police Department said the shooting happened at the Tierra Del Sol Apartments on Crook Road around 6:45 p.m.

When police arrived, they searched the complex’s laundry room and found three people shot.

Two teenagers were pronounced dead at the scene, and a third was taken to hospital, where he died.

Assist. Chief Alvaro Guzman said the two teenagers who died at the scene were in the laundromat when a group of three people got into a disagreement with them, leading to a shootout.

The third teenager who died in hospital is believed to have been with the group.

Guzman said everyone involved is believed to be teenagers and they are looking for two persons of interest. HPD said there is no threat to the public.

Eyewitness News spoke to a man who said he heard gunshots before leaving for church.

“I heard the shot. It was so cool. When I heard that one, I thought, “Oh, what is that? Maybe (because it’s) election day, it’s just a holiday.” I turned off the lights and tried to see what was going on,” the man told ABC13.
