Four people were shot and one was killed after a softball game argument escalated into gunfire at a Humble sports complex Sunday night, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Deputies responded to the shooting shortly after 9:20 p.m. on the 9800 block of Wyatt Shores Drive - where the Fall Creek Sports Complex is located - and found four people with gunshots at the scene, according to HCSO Sgt. Sidney Miller. A man in his 30s was pronounced dead, and the three other victims are expected to survive, Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

No charges had been filed shortly before 6 a.m., and the shooting appeared to be isolated, Gonzalez said. The additional victims included two females and one male, according to the sheriff's office. Authorities had not yet confirmed their ages.


 What should have been an evening of recreation and friendly competition ended in senseless violence and heartbreak,  Gonzalez said in a social media post Monday morning.  Our condolences go out to the family and loved ones of the deceased, and we pray for the full recovery of those injured.
