Police dispersed a crowd of 500+ teens after shots were fired in a downtown Houston park.

Welcome World Cup visitors!

No, they were dispersing them prior to the shots being fired... at least HPD was being proactive

quote:

HOUSTON — Houston police responded to a reported "teen takeover" at Discovery Green on Saturday night, according to Houston Police Department dispatchers.

Police said when officers got to the scene around 9:23 p.m., there were about 500 to 600 juveniles and various adults in the crowd.

As officers were working to disperse the crowd, shots rang out from another large group across the street, according to the Houston Police Department. About 10 to 15 minutes later, HPD said officers heard another round of shots being fired. Thankfully, police said no one was hurt.

Europeans visiting better not say anything online or their governments may deny them their return.

Very true, wonder how HPD and the city would have handled if not for the world cup. Would they have let them do their thing like other blue cities do

If you don't live there, not 21 without parents, you should not be there.

It would have dispersed soon enough on its own.

They have to get to bed to get up for work in the morning.

Why were they dispersing the crowd? 500 people doesn't sound like a high number of people for a 12 acre public park. Was it closed?

Has there been a single one of these stupid takeovers where either fights didn't break out or shots were not fired?
