Baytown man, 21, shot in leg
A 21-year-old Baytown man
was shot in the leg by uninvited
guests who crashed a party
Friday night, police said.
The victim was taken to a
Baytown hospital after the inci-
dent. Police said his injury is not
life-threatening.
The shooting occurred about
3:15 a.m. outside a residence in
the 2000 block of Bruce Street
as a result of a situation that
began hours earlier. The four
suspects arrived uninvited at a
small party but were allowed to
stay until they began causing
trouble, witnesses told police.
The four suspects, one white
and three Hispanic men, left the
party after exchanging heated
words, but returned later. They
confronted several men in the
front yard of the residence, then
one of the suspects allegedly
pulled a gun and pointed it at
the victim’s face.
The victim told police he
pushed the gun away. The sus-
pects got back into their vehicle
and began to drive away but
someone in the car suddenly
began firing a weapon. Six shots
fired from a .380mm pistol
struck two vehicles, the house
and the victim’s leg before the
suspect vehicle drove away.
GANG VIOLENCE
Baytown police spent much
of their time Friday investigat-
ing reports of gang fights.
Officers were called to two
separate fights between mem-
bers of two gangs about 11:45
a.m. One of these altercations
occurred inside Ross S. Sterling
High School and was quickly
stopped by school officials. The
second fight occurred in a park-
ing lot near the school. Injuries
were minor. Two juveniles were
taken into custody but released
to their parents. Two 17-year-
olds were transported to the
Baytown City Jail. All four
suspects were cited for disor-
derly conduct.
About 1:45 p.m., officials at
Robert E. Lee High School
called for police assistance
when they received information
indicating that a Houston gang
was coming to the school to
confront members of a Baytown
gang. No large scale fight was
found, though officers did find
gang-related fighting in the 600
block of South Pruett and at San
Jacinto Mall.
Several officers on special
duty spent much of the after-
noon and night responding to
incidents in an effort to reduce
the possibility of gang fighting.
BURGLARIES/THEFTS
—Six rolls of fencing mater-
ial were stolen from a storage
yard on Bayway at Fortner
Thursday night. Loss is $260.
—Someone stole a seat from
a motorcycle that was parked on
West Miriam Street Friday.
Loss is $100.
—Thirteen cases of beer,
some wine coolers, $63 in cash
and an unknown amount of
change and cigarettes were sto-
len from a bar at 810 W. Nazro
Thursday. Total loss is
unknown.
CRIME SCENE
Between Friday and Saturday
mornings, Baytown police
handled 165 complaints and
investigated incidents that
included eight burglaries, five
thefts, one auto theft, one stolen
auto recovery, five cases of
vandalism, six assaults and one
narcotics arrest.
Tent cities going up in Florida
FLORIDA CITY, Ha. (AP)
— Army troops cleared 14 acres
of parkland and a section of a
demolished air base, hoping to
have tent cities up Saturday
night for thousands of victims of
Hurricane Andrew.
The crews were among 7,000
Army and Marine Corps troops
ordered to South Florida by
President Bush amid complaints
that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency was drag-
ging its feet in providing relief
to hurricane victims.
In Washington, Bush told a
hastily arranged news confer-
ence that he understood die cri-
ticism but didn’t feel such recri-
minatinns were useful.
“I’m not going to participate
Mike is Great
Mike is Fine
Mike's no longer 39!
in the blame game,’’ he said.
The tent cities were part of
the effort to house an estimated
180,000 homeless people in
South Rorida, whose homes
were destroyed when die hurri-
cane flattened the south Miami
suburbs on Monday before
slamming into Louisiana.
A massive relief effort also
was under way in Louisiana,
where 137,000 homes and bu-
sinesses were without electricity
Friday and 1,500 people re-
mained in 11 Red Cross shelters.
After criticism Friday from
Louisiana state and local offi-
cials about the federal response
to the disaster, FEMA officials
there vowed to step up their
efforts.
In Horida, meanwhile, tele-
^ You've come a
v long way baby!
They said 1 couldn't be done
phone service was still scarce in
some areas Friday; 750,000 peo-
ple had no power; and hundreds
lined up for food, drinkable wa-
ter and federal disaster loan
applications.
The death toll for the hurri-
cane rose to 32 Saturday when a
9-year-old Horida girl died in a
fire caused by a candle used to
light a house that still has no
electricity, police said. The
girl’s 6-year-old sister and
60-year-old grandmother were
in critical condition from smoke
inhalation, police said.
A judge in Miami scheduled
an emergency hearing Saturday
morning on a request by Dade
County to postpone Tuesday’s
state primary for a week. County
election officials have said free

Miracle Restoration Fellowship Mission Shelter Food and Clothes Bank 1615 S.
Pruett St., Reverend Elbert Allison and Volunteer workers have been doing their
best to feed the hungry, provide shelter for the homeless and clothe the needy of
Baytown and surrounding area, with very little monthly financial support.
We take no pay for what we do. Every penny you give is tax deductible and every
penny you give goes to maintain the shelter and buy food for the hungry and help the
poor in many ways. Your money does not go for salaries.
My wife and I live on a small monthly Social Security check that amounts to less
than the average person makes in one week. Out of thatwe give $50 monthly to help
carry on the work of helping the needy. Every person in Baytown can at least do that
much.
Some of you can give $50, $100, $500 or more. All that matters is that you give.

“This area of Horida is going
to be in recuperation for a year.
They’re going to have to scrape
the earth and start over,” said
Roger Desjarlais, director of
public safety in Lee County,
northwest of Miami, who was
directing emergency operations
in Horida City.
Desjarlais said migrant work-
ers who lost trailer homes would
make up the bulk of the Horida
City tent complex, designed for
2,500 people.
Another tent city for 2,500
people was being set up on
Homestead Air Force Base
which was totally demolished by
the hurricane.
Similar tent cities were set up
late last year to house thousands
of Haitian refugees at the U.S.
naval base at Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba.
Huge cargo planes carrying
portable kitchens landed Friday
at the air base and at Opa-locka
Airport The Army planes from
Fort Bragg, N.C., carried food,
water and 20 portable military
kitchens.
