So little information.... but it WAS a shooting so MSNBC just had to pick it up. Typical MSNBC agenda reporting.
There's plenty of information in the article about Fossilized Turtle Sex.
I suspect this one is more likely to get an update.
Here's a little more info . . . www. click2houston.com/news/5-shot-3-killed-in-club-shooting/-/1735978/15169196/-/u0epps/-/index.html
(remove the space after www.)
I'd be surprised if the shooting were outside a Gentleman's Club at 3am, but not some strip joint. I'm guessing that in some update I'll see words like, 'women', 'alcohol', and 'restraining order'.
I wonder what their skin color was? I didn't see any mention of that so I am betting it wasn't a Caucasian shooting a darker skin color!
Followed the link
Looks like BLACK on BLACK shooting! Go figure why there was no mention of race.
Calling al sharpton, calling jesse jackson, where are you?
You are about an ignorant jackass, aren't you? You need help with your raggedy way of thinking! Don't forget all of the white serial killers, dumb azz!!!
Think a gun caused the incident.
The professional TROLLS has MSNBC under constant attack!
Because black clouds causes thunder storms and tornadoes;
The Koch Brothers paid professional TROLLS will soon be blaming Obama for the rain.
Just remember, God is a Black Man. He made Man in his Image and Likeness; He made man in Africa first!
The Chronicle said police were trying to find out what caused the incident.
My first guess would be bullets.
My guess was people with guns shooting bullets
proudamericanveteran: I wondered who would be the first to say this. Ha Ha....my first and last guess would have been bullets! :0)
Those pesky bullets... They load their friends in the gun and then point the gun at people. It is amazing that they can pull the trigger and then jump in the gun in time to fire.
Or maybe PEOPLE caused the violence.
Maybe they were going to hand out "mo' free stuffs" and someone thought they weren't going to get the "fair share".
my first guess would be malt liquor and rap music
You guys are all wrong, it's just a full moon that night. Naturally all the animals come out.
A murder, in Houston, near a strip club. might just as well report about the traffic light turning from red to green.
You're thinking about Chicago.
Where do they come up with this be a news story. Get more facts first.
So? Like this is news?
Exactly. Another day, another couple of shootings in the US. Yawn...
Be specific. SW Houston. I live in Houston. If you go to that part of town, you better be locked and loaded. It is the Okay Corral there. Crazy.
Took place at a rap concert. Just more black-on-black violence that those so-called black leaders/activists will run and hide from.
Where is Al Sharpton now? At the club at 3:30 am, it is obvious these people had no job to go to. No big loss here. Actually the welfare will decrease!
Three less votes for mittens!

Actually if you would follow the link a previous poster referred to you would see they were more than likely to have been voters for obamma.
Can't believe I accidently hit thumbs up on the Mittens comment. Oops.
my guess is they belong to the non-working class....i'm in bed at that time so i can get up for work at 5:30am.
Not everyone has to get up at 5:30 am.
Perhaps they were second shift 3-11 workers. Note to self: avoid strip clubs at 3:30 AM
I actually have to get up at 5:30 everyday to go to my job BUT if there is an event I want to go to, it doesn't matter how late it ends. I make up that sleep on days off. I know very many that do the same and can't imagine it's not a practice that most of us that are slaves to our jobs do to keep sane.
OR, if you have a government job, you just call in sick or you do the normal thing, nothing and sleep at the job site.
Don't hate on government jobs because they aren't worked like slaves and actually have STANDARDS by which their employer must abide by. I would MUCH rather have a government job than private sector. At least I know my job won't be my life!

And then post comments on your employers dime?
well u def are a nerdy guy that sits behind a computer and jerks off all day because i have a few friends that wake up early but best believe they hang out whenever possible..
WoW. Factoid overload on that one.
I keeps a tellin ya.. we caint change nothin. That would be un - merican. Nuge and the NRA have more heroes to honor for dying for their freedumb.
Thanks Grampa. Now go back to bed.
You are going to be old someday. That is if you are lucky enough. Stop being disrespectful, dumbass.
Just demonstrating their second half of the second amendment rights.
What a crock. Maybe this should be in the headlines all over the world. Obviously, the only reason for this is to keep pelting the public with articles about people being shot, to help the goobermint disarm the public. Maybe the shooter was justifiably defending his/her own life. Maybe not. But if it was a justified self defense act nothing more will be published about it.
5 people shot??? I HIGHLY doubt that self-defense can be applied here...
Follow a previous posters link.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and the picture will say more than pmsnbc will ever say.
Strippers, alcohol, 3:30AM, men and guns and the police are "trying to find out what caused the incident".
I'm no rocket scientist but I bet I know what caused the incident...
The event occurred at a club located in a "strip center", no strippers were involved. An understandable error, considering how the article was written.
I know, some pimp got mad cause those 2 dudes was leavin with his ho.
Why is this news? Who cares?
I know what caused it was not Travon Martin.
Well I can figure out the cause too. Guns, Texass, and alcohol? It's President Bush's fault!
HA HA HA HA!!
a rapper crowd, what did you expect to happen?
Why do some of you wack jobs have a hard-on for Al and Jesse? Must be that white man Sandusky syndrome.
Troll alert. Okay. That is a good question besides the Sandusky comment.
But to answer your question, Al and Jesse are the leaders that the black community have chosen to use as their leaders or the spokesmen for the black community. To the most of the whites in America these guys come across as clowns. I am sure that they are more than capable of doing their jobs, it just that is the way they are perceived by America. That is why when something like this happens people make a joke about when they are going to show up and use a tragedy to gain airtime or tear down someone or something else. I can only imagine how the younger generations of black perceive these guys.
In the meantime my condolences to the families that have lost loved ones in this tragedy. RIP.
Big Joe Grizly huh? Says it all...
Davebny - while I agree that this is very unlikely to be a case of self-defense, there is a legal basis for such a thing: you're attacked by a large group that you might have been able to defend yourself from one-on-one, but as a group you are outnumbered and "out-gunned" (so to speak), in which case use of deadly force in your self defense can be a valid defense in court.
Why is this shocking? Take a 3am rap concert on a Tuesday night in a crappy part of town...you get dumb @!$%#s shooting up the club.
Another reason why I stopped going to rap concerts. Nothing good happens after 2am.
Hey, pimpin ain't easy, you have to stay up all night waitin for yo ho's mony
By the way, I parked my car and paid a guy who may/may not have anything to do w/ parking at the Houston Astros stadium. I was wishing I was packin heat. Take the walk and get back to me.....
Hey. First find out who did it, then what caused it.
Self defense I was being attacked by a mob of five and was out numbered so I shot them !! It was over a stripper gal whore I didn't pay.
Come on Clay-ton, the only naked girl you've ever seen is your fat, obnoxious, gal whore mother. Once when you shot out of her ass and once when you shot into her ass. I actually laughed out loud! I really did...
