5. Story and link.

Shootings reported at Texas Southern University
(AP) � 14 minutes ago

HOUSTON � Multiple shootings were reported at a Wednesday night concert on the Texas Southern University campus where a spokeswoman said at least three people were wounded.

TSU spokeswoman Eva Pickens tells the Houston Chronicle at least three people were shot at the event hosted by Houston City Council member Peter Brown, who is running for mayor. Pickens says it's unclear if any students were injured and there was no immediate word on conditions.

Lucinda Gwinn, who manages Brown's mayoral campaign, said the concert by rapper Trae the Truth was organized by TSU, U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee, Brown and other council members and officials to promote voter registration.

Houston police told KTRK-TV four people were shot at three locations within a block, one on campus and two off campus. Houston police spokesman John Cannon referred questions to university officials.

Pickens didn't immediately return messages from The Associated Press.

Texas Southern is a historically black university in Houston with an enrollment approaching 10,000 students.....

12. And what reason would I have to make up six people being shot?

And did you ever think I took my last name off my username for saftey? Maybe because of an actual threat, or would you even care about that?
