Houston, TX – Houston police are actively seeking a suspect following a double shooting at Confessions Bar and Restaurant in Upper Kirby on Wednesday night. The incident occurred along Kirby Drive and Richmond Avenue, leaving two men in their 20s in critical condition at local hospitals.

According to Lt. R.
