One person was killed and five others were injured following a shooting at a Houston, Texas, nightclub early on Sunday.

At around 2 a.m., police responded to the club, where nearly 100 people were in attendance when the altercation began. A fight occurred at Visions Nightclub before "several individuals produced firearms and began firing," Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said in a tweet.

"At this time, no one has been charged in the shootings," Gonzales said, noting it was not immediately clear how the deceased or wounded individuals are related to the shooting or the fight that broke out at the scene.

Derrick Johnson was pronounced dead at the scene, while four other people were taken to a nearby medical facility for non-life-threatening injuries. One other person was shot in the head but is expected to survive, officials told a local TV station.

Brown said that there may have been multiple shooters, adding that more than one firearm was recovered from the scene.

An investigation into the matter is ongoing.

    On Sunday’s Naked and Afraid, the episode followed Lynsey and Darvil as they tried to survive 21 days deep in the African wilderness. But as some viewers were quick call out on Twitter, they were not alone. That’s because someone, who is most likely associated with the production, was spotted in the background during one shot and appears to be carrying a rifle of some sort. One viewer assumed it was security personnel, who are on-site to make sure no wild animals cause any actual harm to the cast and crew during shows like this. And while the gaffe is unfortunate for a show trying to build and maintain suspense, it’s fortunate people like that are present for the players who really are living among dangerous and potentially harmful animals. Like wild baboons and hyenas, both of which had the players seriously scared on this week’s episode.
