HOUSTON, July 4 (Xinhua) -- Two people were killed and another two injured Monday night in a shooting near downtown Houston, the largest city in the U.S. state of Texas.
Police blamed an argument between two groups of people for the shooting incident, according to local TV station ABC13.
Two men with severe injuries were rushed to hospital but died later. A 10-year-old boy shot in the lower abdomen and a 30-year-old man with a wrist wound were treated in the Memorial Hermann Hospital.
The shooting took place not far away from the Eleanor Tinsley Park, where the Freedom Over Texas celebration was held, but police said that this incident did not appear to be related to the Independence Day celebration.
The police are investigating what led to the argument and shooting.
