Three people were killed overnight Sunday after a gathering in a short-term rental turned deadly near Houston, Texas.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said deputies responded to an emergency call around 2:15 a.m. at a suburban neighborhood in Katy, Texas, just 30 miles (48 kilometers) west of Houston.
Gonzalez estimated about 10 to 20 young people were gathered at a short-term rented home before the shooting started.
When the first deputy arrived, two people had already died at the scene and another person would later be confirmed dead at a hospital.
The victims are thought to be in their 20s, but no exact ages or identities were confirmed Sunday morning.
