Single bullet leaves seven people injured at dance in Houston; suspect arrested, police said

HOUSTON – A sheriff in Southeast Texas said a suspect was arrested after a shooting left seven people injured at a Houston flea market that was holding a dance Sunday night.

The Houston Chronicle reports the incident happened at the Mercado Sabadomingo.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez identified the suspect as 25-year-old Jose Manuel Guerrero-Reyes, who was charged with one count of aggravated assault, the sheriff said in a tweet.

Gonzalez says the suspect told authorities that the gun was in his pocket when it accidentally went off. But the sheriff adds the suspect's version of the incident didn't match the evidence.

Gonzalez says one man was struck by the bullet, which then ricocheted and injured six others, all adults.

He says the man who was shot did not know the suspect. None of the injuries are considered life-threatening.

The investigation is ongoing.
