A dispute between members of two families at a toddler’s first birthday party in Texas erupted into gunfire, leaving four men dead and a fifth wounded, police confirmed Sunday. ADVERTISEMENTThe fight broke out Saturday evening in a house in the small town of Taft, on the Gulf Coast near the city of Corpus Christi, said Sergeant Nathan Brandley, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Public Safety. In addition to the four men found dead at the scene, a fifth was evacuated by helicopter to a hospital in Corpus Christi, Brandley said in a briefing posted on social media. Brandley said the Texas Ranger law enforcement agency was leading an investigation. Texas laws — including one that allows Texans to carry concealed weapons — make it one of the gun-friendliest states in the country.
