3 killed in drug-related shooting in Houston

Xinhua, February 26, 2015 Adjust font size:

Three men were killed and two others injured in an apparently drug-related shooting here Wednesday, authorities said.

Police said they found three dead bodies, two in their 20s and the third in his 50s, at a home in southeast Houston. The two wounded have been taken to a local hospital.

A police officer told the Houston Chronicle that neighbors heard gunshots and saw as many as four African-American men fled the scene afterwards.

The officer said the incident had all the signs of a narcotics robbery, and the victims were possibly killed when selling drugs.

Residents said the home is a known "drug house" and had been robbed on Monday afternoon. Endi
