Police: 3 killed, 2 hurt in shooting near downtown Houston
HOUSTON – Police say a third person has died in a shooting near downtown Houston that happened as people gathered in a street to watch an illegal fireworks display.

Authorities say at least three males began shooting at one of the victims. Five people were struck by gunfire.
The three who were killed were all adult men.
Among the injured was a 10-year-old child, who KTRK-TV reports was shot in the abdomen and taken to a hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.
