BRENHAM POLICE INVESTIGATING A DEADLY SHOOTING

  

Brenham Police are investigating a shooting incident Saturday night that left one person dead, and sent another to the hospital.

Officers responded to a call of shots fired around 10pm in the 1200 block of Tom Green Street where a birthday party was being hosted.

Brenham Police were notified that a large crowd of teens was fighting, and at least one person had been shot.

When the officers arrived on the scene, they found numerous teens and parents fleeing the area.

Two shooting victims were located and treated by off-duty paramedics until the Washington County EMS arrived on the scene. 

Both victims were transported to the Baylor Scott and White Emergency Room here in Brenham, where one of the victims, a 17 year old male, later died.

Police say that the other victim has been treated and released from the hospital.

Officers were at the scene until 4am Sunday.

The Brenham Fire Department provided extra light at the scene, and Navasota Police also assisted with the investigation.

An investigation into the case is ongoing, and anyone with information about the shooting is encouraged to contact Brenham Police Detective Connor Caskey at 979-337-7378.

City Manager Carolyn Miller said that Jay Huffty at Brenham ISD has been notified, while there have been no threats of retaliation, as a precaution, there will be increased security at Brenham High School on Monday morning.
