An 11-year-old boy is dead after police say he was shot during a “ding-dong-ditch” prank in east Houston late Saturday night. The shooting happened around 11 p.m. near Mimbrough and Fidelity streets, just east of the East Loop. Houston police said the boy and a group of children had been ringing doorbells in the neighborhood when they knocked at one home. That’s when, according to witnesses, someone came out of the house and started shooting at the children as they ran away.
