1 child killed, 4 others injured in shooting at Texas flea market

A child was killed and four others were injured Sunday when a shooting broke out at a large Texas flea market following a “disturbance” between two people, police said.

Two minors were among five victims who were shot at Cole’s Flea Market around 5:30 p.m. in Pearland, Texas, authorities said. One of the juveniles died from their injuries after being taken to a local hospital.

The victim’s age and gender were not immediately released.

The suspect – or suspects – behind the fatal shooting are still at large, Pearland police public information officer Chad Rogers said during a brief press briefing Sunday night.

The shooting started as “a disturbance between two individuals,” Rogers said. “This does not appear to be a targeted attack on a flea market.”

He said he did not know how many shots were fired or how many shooters there were because authorities were seeking tips from the public.

Cole’s Flea Market is considered the oldest and largest flea market in the Texas city, according to its website. The indoor and outdoor markets have more than 1,000 vendors and have between 12,000 and 15,000 customers each weekend.

The investigation into the shooting is “very active,” Rogers said.
