Nine people were injured after a Texas after-prom party ended in a shooting early Sunday morning, according to police.
Jasper County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call from a home on County Road 263 shortly after midnight regarding gunshots.
The violence erupted at an after-prom party that was held at the home in north Jasper County, southeast Texas.
Nine victims were found with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Most of them were taken to a local hospital, and some were transferred to another medical center for «additional treatment,» according to a news release.
The motive for the shooting is unclear at this time.
Police said persons of interest were being questioned in connection with the shooting, but did not disclose whether any of the suspects were currently in custody.
