On Sunday evening, February 23, in Texas, in a crowded flea market, panic occurred after a man wounded seven people with a single shot. All of them were taken to the hospital. Writes about this Fox News.
25-year-old Jose Manuel Guerrero-Reyes was charged with aggravated assault, resulting in bodily harm. Police said injuries to all victims were not life threatening.
“At some point, he pulled out a gun with his finger on the trigger and then shot the man standing in front of Guerrero-Reyes,” Harris County Sheriff's Deputy Thomas Gilliand said.
The bullet hit a 30-year-old man in the thigh and then ricocheted six more people from a concrete dance floor. Among the victims were four men aged 26 to 33 years and two women aged 26 to 43 years, all of them were slightly injured.

Guerrero-Reyes allegedly told investigators that his hand was in his pocket, and the gun that was in the same place accidentally fired. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said the suspect’s testimony did not match the evidence.
He claims that Guerrero Reyes was a drinker.
"We don't know if he intended to shoot someone or if it was an accident," Gonzalez said. “Guns and alcohol don’t mix well.”
The sheriff added that Guerrero-Reyes had nothing to do with the man who was first injured in the thigh, and the motive for the crime was unclear.
