According to ABC News, one person was killed, and 14 people were gravely injured in a shooting in Baytown, Texas.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office confirmed to ABC's Texas affiliate, KTRK, that a gunman opened fire on a gathering taking part in a "celebration of life" in the neighborhood.

KTRK spoke with a sergeant from the Houston County Sheriff's Office, who stated that a mother was having a vigil for her son, who was killed at his house a couple of weeks earlier when an unknown suspect drove down the road blasting shots into the gathering.

According to Houston's local media, the shooting occurred north of the "Market Loop" neighborhood in "Baytown" as residents gathered for a night vigil in response to a previous incident.
