Multiple gunmen jumped out of a car and opened fire outside a nightclub in Houston in the early hours of Sunday morning, leaving one person dead and four others wounded, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office. 

The shooting happened around 2 a.m. at Lounge 33 in north Houston.

"Over 50 shots were fired here, which is a very scary situation considering there's a mobile food truck and, again, the number of patrons that were outside," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said at the scene.
