Overview
- In the early-morning hours shots were fired at a fence behind a Northeast Side home and bullets entered a bedroom where a 6-year-old and a 10-year-old girl were sleeping, with one struck in the stomach and the other in the leg.
- Both children were taken to a local hospital with non-life-threatening injuries and are expected to survive.
- Police identified and arrested 18-year-old Treyvion Mackey and charged him with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; court records show he was booked on a combined $200,000 bond.
- Officers found two to three bullet holes in the fence and holes in the house that led to the children’s room, and a KSAT crew captured the suspect being detained at the scene as investigators continued their inquiry.
- Neighbors said the shooting revived fears of past gun violence in the neighborhood known locally as 'Gunrise,' and the case is likely to drive more police attention and court proceedings in the coming days.
