HOUSTON — One person was killed and another person was critically injured in a shooting Saturday in Westchase, according to Houston police.
Police said a man and woman kicked in the door to an apartment on the third floor of the Westchase Forest complex along Richmond Avenue just outside the Beltway. When they got in, two people who were inside the apartment opened fire. The man was pronounced dead at the scene and the woman was taken to an area hospital in critical condition.
Police said it happened just after 5 p.m.
Investigators said they learned that there might have been some sort of family ties to the people involved in the shooting, but stopped short of saying what the connection was.
A detective at the scene said the people inside the unit were "protecting themselves."
