LA PORTE, TX — A La Porte man is in custody after allegedly firing a handgun at two people during a domestic disturbance Thursday evening, prompting a SWAT response.

On September 18, 2025, at approximately 6:00 p.m., La Porte Police officers responded to the 11600 block of N. P Street after receiving reports of shots fired during a disturbance.

Investigators determined that the suspect, Christopher Clinton Hinds, fired a handgun at two adults outside a residence before retreating inside. No injuries were reported.
