"There's a gang war going on right now in Houston," says police chief
One high school student is dead and another two men injured after what police believe to be separate, possibly gang-related shootings this week in Houston.
The first shooting involved Lamar High School student Delindsey Mack, who was gunned down Tuesday about a block away from the school campus. Houston police believe three suspects targeted the 18-year-old outside the Bethany Christian Church parking lot.
The second shooting occurred Friday morning at a South Side gas station, where two hooded attackers drove up next to two men sitting in the the back seat of a car and opened fire, according to earlier reports.
The men were both taken to the hospital but are expected to survive.
