Teenager shot in shoulder by 42-year-old man while playing with water guns in Spring

HOUSTON - A 15-year-old girl was in the hospital Saturday after deputy constables said a 42-year-old man shot her at a family barbecue in Spring.

“It was crazy, like you would never expect somebody to bring a gun to a barbecue, or a family gathering at all,” said neighbor Micah Stewart.

“We come around here to get home and there’s two people playing, like they’re having a water gun fight,” said neighbor Rasheed Seals.

But deputy constables said somehow a real gun got in the mix.

“The man went over there to his car to get his dry clothes and he must have had the gun so he started playing with it and tried to do this and I thought he probably had it on safety and he accidentally shot the girl in her collar bone area,” said Stewart.
