HOUSTON — Houston police are investigating two shootings that occurred late Saturday along I-45, the Gulf Freeway.
Both incidents were reported around 10 p.m. near FM 2351, according to officers with the Houston Police Department.
Police responded and found a man in a car who said he was heading northbound on the freeway when he felt a pain in his back and realized he’d been shot. Another man was also grazed by a bullet at nearby Baybrook Mall.
The man who was shot on the freeway was taken to the hospital by ambulance. The man who was grazed did not go to the hospital.
