    HOUSTON (AP) - A Texas Southern University spokeswoman says six
people were shot and wounded at a community rally on the Texas
Southern University campus in what police believe was a
gang-related drive-by shooting.
    TSU spokeswoman Eva Pickens says one male student was among
those injured Wednesday night.
    Pickens says witnesses told police people in a car drove by the
outdoor event where a popular Houston rapper was promoting a school
supply giveaway and opened fire.
    Six people were shot. Pickens says they are being treated at
hospitals for serious, but non-life threatening injuries.
    Campus police believe the incident was the result of rivalry
between two suburban gangs.
