(CNN) – Two people died during a shooting while filming a video musical in the Houston area on Friday night, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said.
At least six others were injured.
The cops were called around 9:30 p.m. Local time to a residential neighborhood near Berwyn in Harris County following reports of a shooting, said Sheriff Ed Gonzalez at a press conference at the scene.
When they arrived, they found a group of young men with gunshot wounds, two of whom were dead. The group was in the parking lot of an office complex filming a rap video when they were “ambushed” by attackers who were “in cars and on foot” shooting at the parking lot, Gonzalez said.

Two people were pronounced dead at the scene, four other victims were transported to local hospitals and two others arrived at area hospitals with gunshot wounds, said Captain J. Shannon of the Harris County Sheriff’s Officer.
Investigators are finding out what led to the deadly shooting. The investigation is expected to be complex, according to Gonzalez, because the crime scene was very large.
Investigators are still trying to identify the suspects and a motive. When asked if the shooting was related to gangs, Gonzalez said: “I’m not going to rule that out, but I’m not going to say it was because we just don’t know.”
