HOUSTON (KTRK) --
An 18-year-old freshman college student is dead and another person is injured after a shooting at Texas Southern University Friday. Houston police say two suspects are in custody and they are looking for a third person.


"I see them putting the body on the gurney and putting them in the ambulance," said Antonia Williams, one of many students who were near the shooting.

Investigators say an argument of some sort led three men to shoot two others. The two were shot in the 3500 block of Blodgett Street at Tierwester around 11:30am. The shooting happened at the Tierwester Oaks section of the University Courtyard apartment complex.

TSU students are tweeting about the shooting:

running out of words for these horrors.

1. If you treat these shootings as a contagious disease...

The conclusion is that they will spread.

2. It's the third shooting at TSU this semester

and it's only October.

3. oh my word, that is horrible. I do not remember hearing about the other two, although a friend `

in houston made reference to another school shooting that only made local news.

4. Oops, my bad. It was the 3rd shooting THIS WEEK!

No fatalities in he other 2 shootings this week, but they were still serious enough for the victims to go to the hospital. One was even at the same student apartments as the fatality on the 9th.

There was another shooting near the campus in August. The shooter was a TSU sophomore. The 2 victims were not students. The male victim died eventually. He had been shot in the head. The females wound was fairly minor.

5. almost unfathomable. I am beginning to think that crosses ought to be placed outside nra

headquarters for each shooting victim.

6. I think that's a great idea!

I think that's a great idea! Ideally, a plot of land visible from NRA central with one cross, or star, or crescent, or what have you for each death by bullet.

(though with the amount of death by bullets each year, it would soon outgrow Arlington National within three years)

7. thank you for pointing out the need for stars and crescents, etc. a serious oversight on my part.
