Man detained after seven people shot at flea market near Aldine, Harris County sheriff says

A man was detained late Sunday after a shooting inside a flea market near Aldine left seven people injured, according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.

All the victims were hospitalized and expected to survive, he said. The suspect, who was not identified, will likely face charges, he said.

The Mercado Sabadomingo flea market, in the 8700 block of Airline, was bustling with people Sunday night during a “live dance“ inside the building, Gonzalez said. Children were among the attendees.

The suspect told investigators that the gun was in his pocket when it accidentally fired. The bullet struck one man and ricocheted off the dance floor, Gonzalez said. Six others, all adults, suffered minor injuries from the gunfire, he said.
