AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A sheriff’s office in Texas says nine teenagers were shot at a prom after-party attended by hundreds. Deputies in Jasper County said they responded just after midnight to shots fired at a home where the party was held and found nine victims with gunshot wounds that were not life-threatening. The statement says about 250 people were there at the time of the shooting. Officials say a second shooting within the city limits of Jasper occurred shortly after, and a possible connection between the two is being investigated. Officials say that “people of interest” are being questioned.
