A child was killed and four other people were injured Sunday when a shooting broke out at a large Texas flea market following a “disturbance” between two people, police said.
Two minors were among five victims hit by gunfire at the Cole Flea Market around 5:30 p.m. in Pearland Texas, authorities said. One of the minors died from his injuries after being taken to a local hospital.
The ages and genders of the victims were not immediately released.
The suspect, or suspects, behind the deadly shooting are still at large, Pearland police public information officer Chad Rogers said during a brief news conference Sunday night.
The shooting began as “a disturbance between two individuals,” Rogers said. “This does not appear to be a targeted attack on the flea market.”

He said he did not know how many bullets were fired or how many shooters there were, as authorities are asking the public for information.
Cole’s Flea Market is considered the largest and oldest flea market in Texas City, according to its website. The indoor and outdoor market has more than 1,000 vendors and between 12,000 and 15,000 customers each weekend.
The investigation into the shooting is “very active,” Rogers said.
