A mysterious Snapchat video surfaced showing at least two people shooting guns out of moving car in west Houston.
The location, where at least 14 gunshots were fired by a man and a woman, was tracked to the Highway 6 corridor, behind at least one worried resident’s home.
“It’s a little bit scary. You don’t know where the shots are going,” Bill Kraft said.
Kraft originally thought the sounds were a car backfiring, but upon further review, a TV news crew investigated and found bullet holes in at least one nearby road sign.
Houston Police are now actively investigating the incident.

An expert in social media maintains the video is #forreal.
“First impression is real video; it is very difficult to fake things through Snapchat. Your location on the app is tied to your location in real life. There’s not a way to fake that,” said Kristy Gillentine, vice president of public engagement for Drive West Communications and a social media specialist.
