Disappointment in Trae Day

*A community event at Houston's Texas Southern University featuring hometown rapper Trae Tha Truth was cut short Wednesday night by a drive-by shooting that injured six people.

According to the Houston Chronicle, no one was seriously wounded in the incident, which occurred before 9 p.m.

TSU spokesperson Eva Pickens told the paper that an unmarked car pulled up to the campus' parking lot and began to shoot wildly into the crowd, striking some of the partygoers including a male TSU student and a 60-year-old man.

The community-sponsored event gave away school supplies for children, offered train and pony rides, enforced voter registration and provided immunizations and HIV testing.

"The event was something that was very meaningful, very positive" Trae told MTV News. "You have a lot of people who could never pull this off. This was the best event of the year, then we go through what we went through at night when the event is over. No positive light was shed that a couple thousand kids got immunization shots. Families got free backpacks for their children. Nobody sees the positive stuff."

Rappers Bun B and Rick Ross were both at the event — which was also meant to honor Trae's work with at-risk youth in Houston — and Ross performed.

TSU officials said local police are investigating the shooting and believe the event may have been spurred by an ongoing rivalry between two of the city's local gangs from Fresno and Missouri City, a suburb southwest of Houston, CNN reported.
