At a massive prom after-party, nine teens were shot in an east Texas residence early on Sunday, April 23.
The Party Of Terror
According to a statement from the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, deputies responded to shots fired at a private property in Jasper County where the party was hosted and discovered nine victims with gunshot wounds.
As per Fox9 reports, officials from Jasper County expect the injuries not to be life-threatening.
The Jasper County Sheriff’s Office issued a statement estimating that there were 250 individuals there at the time of the incident.
The sheriff’s office stated that the victims were brought to two hospitals but did not specify how many shooters there were.
According to Karli Cherry, a spokeswoman for the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office, eight persons were transported to Jasper Memorial Hospital in Jasper, Texas, and “at least one” of them was later sent for additional care to Christus Southeast Texas-St. Elizabeth Hospital in neighboring Beaumont, Texas. She said that one victim chose not to visit the hospital.
Birthday Party Horror
This Prom Party incident is only a few days apart from the horrifying birthday party mass shooting that recently took place in Dadeville.
At least four people were murdered, and 28 others were injured in a horrifying mass shooting that occurred earlier this week at a teenager’s birthday celebration. A high school senior who intended to play college football and was celebrating his sister’s 16th birthday was among those who perished. The incident occurred Saturday night at a dancing studio in downtown Dadeville.
The White House announced that President Joe Biden had been briefed on the incident and that it is actively following the situation and has been in contact with local authorities and law enforcement to provide support.
Notably, in recent years, the nation has experienced an increase in mass shootings. According to reports, the US has been recreating the atrocity around once each week so far this year, establishing a record for mass murders in 2023.
