Police said seven people were shot after a fight broke out at a house party in east Houston early Saturday morning. The incident occurred around 1:45 a.m. at an "instant house party" that formed after it was promoted on Snapchat.

"It was just a random group of people receiving an invite (on the app)," said Detective Sean Ragsdale, CBS Houston affiliate KHOU reports.

4. Where are the parents?

9. Possibly, but the story reminds me of my aunt and uncle in the Houston area.

They bought the 16-year-old daughter a red Corvette for her first vehicle. Then my aunt and uncle would go to Louisiana to gamble leaving the 16 year-old daughter at home with the 14-year-old daughter for the weekend. Needless to say, without any parental supervision the girls went wild with the "open house" lack of rules. Both girls became pregnant while in their teens and the 14-year-old was competing with the 16 year-old to see which one would get pregnant first. Bad decisions made by everyone in that situation.

6. Promoting a party on Snapchat was your first mistake

It's all downhill after that.
