An argument between a group of homeless people early Thursday morning left one of them shot and three others stabbed.

The incident occurred about 1 a.m. at Moody Park in north Houston, according to Lt. Larry Crowson of the Houston Police Department.

Crowson said the group was bedding down for the night at the back of the park when an argument broke out about who was "in charge" of the park. During the confrontation, someone started shooting. One man was shot; two other men and a woman were stabbed.

When officers arrived they found the gunshot victim as well as the wounded woman and injured man. The other man who was stabbed ran away, a trail of blood leading away from the scene.

Soon afterwards, Crowson said, police were notified that a stabbing victim was at the Astro Inn just north of the park. When officer arrived at the motel they determined the injured man had been among the people fighting at the park.

All the injured people were taken to a nearby hospital. All of them are expected to survive.

No information was available about possible charges in the case.
