Breaking! AMBUSH shooting at rap video filming in Houston, 7 shot, 2 fatalities… [Updated]

There was a shooting in Houston at the filming of a rap music video and police say it looks like an ambush.

More from Sky News:

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said officers received a call on Friday night that shots had been fired across several blocks of the street in Berwyn being used by the filmmakers.

The number of gunmen involved was not clear, he told reporters. The motive was also yet to be established and any connection to gang violence was yet to be ruled out.

He said of the victims: “All of the sudden, basically they were ambushed, we believe, by individuals in cars and/or foot.

“This is a very serious situation – this is a residential neighbourhood. A lot of shots were fired,” he added.

Pretty terrible. Here’s another video about the shooting:

We’ll update as more information is available.

UPDATE:

I’m seeing a lot of chatter on social media that the rap artist who was filming a video was this guy:

That is not confirmed yet, just a rumor at this point.
