Around 5:10 a.m. HPD officers responded to a shooting call at a convenience store where a juvenile and an adult male were injured from gunfire.

Upon arrival, investigators learned that Irvin arrived at the store armed with an assault-style rifle and a pistol.

Then Irvin discharged both firearms, causing injuries to the juvenile's face, and an adult male in a nearby vehicle. 

Evidence indicated a stray bullet caused the glass to strike the juvenile in the eye, leaving him suffering from lacerations and powder burns. 

The adult male was also injured from the glass when a bullet shattered vehicle's window. 

The juvenile victim, 8, underwent surgery and was released from an area hospital. The second victim, 25, was treated and released from a hospital.
