About an hour later, HPD said there was no confirmation of a shooting, no victims had been registered, according to a municipal authority on Twitter.
I just spoke to a public information officer from the Houston Police Department. There is no firing confirmation. There are no victims accounted for. They are still talking to people, but it may have been a false report. Let’s wait and see.
