The latest in a decades-long series of mass shootings, a shooting incident in Texas took the life of one and injured 14.

Homicide and firearm investigators have been deployed at the scene of the shooting in Texas.

One person was killed and 14 were injured in a shooting in Baytown in the southern US State of Texas, Harris Country Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.

"[The] number of wounded individuals is now up to 14; one has been pronounced deceased, three being taken by Lifeflight in critical condition, and the remaining ones are said to have non/fatal injuries," Gonzalez said on Twitter.

The shooting happened on Sunday night when a vehicle approached a crowd attending a vigil for someone recently murdered and opened fire.

Homicide and firearm investigators have been deployed at the scene, according to Gonzales.

Michigan school shooting

A previous shooting took place in Michigan when a sophomore student killed three and injured six in a school shooting.

According to Oakland Counter Undersheriff, Mike McCabe, the sophomore student shot around 15 to 20 bullets during the attack. "He didn't give us any resistance when he was taken into custody," McCabe said. "The whole thing lasted 5 minutes."

It is worth mentioning that after the shooting, a US Congressman posted a Christmas picture of himself and his family, smiling and holding guns.

The Congressman posted the photo a few days after 15-year-old Ethan Crumbley carried out the deadliest school shooting in the US this year, only the latest in a decades-long series of mass shootings at US schools.
