Following a mass shooting that left seven people injured at a trail ride pasture party at Prairie View A&M University on Sunday (Nov. 6) night, witnesses claim that security did not search for weapons, Houston station KHOU reports.

Law enforcement responded to shots fired near where the event was occurring and when they arrived on the scene, they discovered four women, two men, and a teenage male had been wounded who were in attendance at the trail ride pasture party. Each victim was wounded in their lower extremities and expected to recover.

In a statement, Prairie View A&M said it was "saddened and troubled by the senseless act of violence."

"Although this was not an official PVAMU homecoming event and was unaffiliated with the university, our campus community is deeply concerned for those injured and all affected by this incident," the school’s statement read.

Investigators said that the shooting occurred after an argument at the event. Shortly thereafter, the unidentified suspect pulled out his gun and began shooting. Also, the trail ride pasture party was held in conjunction with a Prairie View A&M homecoming party.

Chad Burns, who was one of thousands in attendance at the trail ride party on Sunday, shared his eye-witness account of what happened at the event.

"It was probably one of the greatest events I've been to, but as the night went on, it kind of got wild,"  Burns said.

But everything changed suddenly when Burns said that he heard the shots and ran for safety.

"It was a panic," Burns recalled. "People scattered like roaches. They was gone."

According to Burns, the shooting happened because there weren’t any security checks at the event and he said that he saw attendees armed with guns.

"Security did not perform their duties," Burns said. "I told him that a young man got a gun as big as me. He said he and hundreds of others got guns."

Although Waller County constables and a private security company provided security for the event, law enforcement noted the necessary procedures to ensure everyone’s safety was not followed.

"None of the security protocols that were established by the permitting body and agreed to by the promoter were found to be followed at the time of the incident," the Waller County Office sheriff's office added.

Waller County Judge Trey Duhon, whose office granted the permit for the event, released a statement in response to the shooting.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the shooting victims and I hope that they all recover from their injuries as quickly as possible,” Duhon’s statement read. “I also hope that the WCSO investigation leads to the arrest of the individual(s) responsible and that they face the full consequences of their actions in criminal court in Waller County."

No arrests have been made in connection with the shooting.

The violence is just the latest in a string of incidents taking place in or around HBCU campuses during their homecoming celebrations. On Oct. 3, five people were wounded on the campus of Morgan State University after an event. One suspect has been arrested and a warrant has been issued for the apprehension of another.
