Gunfire at Houston college

Gunfire erupted yesterday at a community college near Houston, and a school maintenance man was wounded during the volley of shots, cops said.

An afternoon “altercation” between two men — at least one of them a student — led to shots being fired at Lone Star College, said Harris County Sheriff’s Maj. Armando Tello.

“There was a maintenance man injured and shot. It appears he was an innocent bystander,” Tello said of the janitor, who was shot in the leg.

A female student collapsed amid the incident and was hospitalized for a “medical condition,” Tello said.

Carlton Berry, 22, was arrested and charged with aggravated assault. His rival was called a “person of interest,” and both were under armed guard at a local hospital, cops said. Details of their wounds were not immediately disclosed.
