It happened around 1:30 a.m. Saturday inside The 512 on 6th bar. General manager Corey Phikus told KXAN someone had a gun in their jean pants pocket, and it accidentally went off inside the club, ricocheting and hitting two people. "The bullet hit the floor and some minor injuries occurred from the reaction. APD caught the guy and has him in custody," Phikus told KXAN in a statement. He said the bar has six security guards who search people with a wand. He added that it was unfortunate that someone was able to get past them.

Interactive map shows which Texas cities will be underwater in 2050

(NEXSTAR) – Residents of the northeastern U.S. saw firsthand this summer the devastation flooding can cause in a community. Unfortunately, scientists predict flooding will only become more common as the years go on. A map created by Climate Central, an organization of scientists and journalists focused on studying the impacts of climate change, shows what the future may hold for coastal communities as sea level rises.In the first map (below), we set the projections to include sea level rise and typical annual flooding (weather that can be expected every year). We set the map to include what would happen with "unchecked pollution" between now and 2050. That setting most closely matches the current path we're on, Climate Central said. For luck, we set the bar to "medium," which reflects the middle range of possibilities predicted by scientists. While Manhattan is largely spared under these moderate conditions, there's substantial sea level rise in nearby Hudson and Bergen countie...
