As New Year's Eve approaches, city officials are sending out some important and urgent reminders to help keep you and your family safe.
"What goes up, must come down. It will come down with more force and velocity," said Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner. On Thursday afternoon, Turner, along with the fire and police chief, reminded the public that celebratory gunfire is dangerous. Last year, two people were injured as a result, including an 8-year-old child.
"Discharging a firearm is a Class A misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to a year in jail and a $4,000 fine," said Turner.
