Houston - Authorities in Harris County had a busy weekend responding to several reported shootings.
Between Saturday night and Sunday morning there were at least 5 shootings scattered across the county.
Early Sunday morning, 6 people were shot at a night club along FM 1960. One person had to be air-lifted to a local hospital with injuries, while 1 person was killed.
According to the Harris County Sheriff, the mass shooting occurred at Visions nightclub during a fight. The victim has been identified as Derrick Johnson, a father.
"It was senseless," said Essence Hebert, a close friend. "It was heartless. My brother had a good heart. He had dreams. Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to fulfill."
In addition, a 16-year-old was shot off Wilcrest Drive. The teen is expected to be okay. However, police at the scene were also targeted by gunfire.
"Somebody fired a shot [from] a pellet gun or a sling shot," said Lt. Larry Crowson from HPD. "[It] broke out the window on my patrol vehicle."
