Multiple shootings in Memphis and Houston have resulted in fatalities and serious injuries. In South Memphis, two men were killed near Booker T. Washington High School, triggering a temporary lockdown and an ongoing police investigation. Separately, Jerry Moore and his girlfriend Amber Woods have been charged after Moore allegedly shot and critically injured two men on I-40, with Woods accused of false reporting and evidence tampering. In Houston, an 18-year-old woman and her 16-year-old brother were arrested after a drive-by shooting in north Harris County, though no injuries occurred there. The spate of incidents reflects a growing pattern of gun violence, prompting intensified law enforcement responses.
