According to sources, seven people were left injured after gunfire rang out at a “trail ride” event, which KPRC 2 has been told was not an official PVAMU gathering but was approved by the County Judge.
“The mass gathering was approved by the County Judge for the location of FM 362 and Cameron Rd. The party promoter agreed to follow the Judge’s instructions. Please avoid the area of FM 362 to avoid traffic due to people organizing parking in the approved pastures,”The Waller County Sheriff’s Office responded to the scene which was located in a pasture on FM 362 near Knebel Road.
Several different agencies reportedly had to call for five Life Flight helicopters to come to the scene and assist with victims. Officials were able to evacuate the wounded eventgoers and established a landing zone in the Buc-cees parking lot at FM 362 and US290.This is a breaking news story.
