HOUSTON—Houston’s ongoing gang wars claimed more lives Sunday as two innocent bystanders were caught in the crossfire.

This weekend alone, police sources said gang members shot eight people, killing three of them.

The sounds of the gunshots lasted for just seconds, but the sounds of violence lingered long after the triggers were pulled as neighbors cried out for their loved ones.

Around 2 p.m. Sunday at the Peachtree Apartment Complex near Rampart and Glenmont, police said gang members shot three people.

Police sources said that shooting was retaliation for what happened at the same apartment complex Friday morning, when two young men were shot and killed.

Around 4:30 p.m. Sunday on Reims at Hornwood, police said gang members shot three men. Investigators aren’t sure if that shooting was connected to the two others, but they believe the gang known as the Southwest Cholos was involved in all three.

“I am a concerned parent and it hurts me to see things like that,â€

I guess the gangs are doing the work Americans don't want to do.

JUST FOLLOW THE MONEY! Another benefit of living in a Sanctuary City! The taxpayers again are allowed to support the Special Interest Groups and ILLEGAL EMPLOYERS by furnishing benefits for their ILLEGALS.

AGAIN, "Our FAMILIES are at the mercy of ILLEGALS and their Anchors being murdered, raped, infected with disease, or robbed. We can see the results of the ILLEGAL invasion in our courts every day! But NOT to worry the Chamber of Commerce will get their cheap labor increasing their privatized PROFITS while socializing the benefits for their ILLEGALS on the back of U. S. Citizens, thanks to our past and current Presidents, the Congressional Leadership(?), and local elected and appointed officials!"

The sad thing about it is that the Peachtree Apartment Complex near Rampart and Glenmont (Little Mexico) are tax exempt. They use HUD to get tax payer's money and allow illegal thugs like the Cholos to live htere and sell drugs. This whole neighbor hood needs to be bulldozed.
