Sheriff: Husband shoots at men attempting to rob his wife in west Harris County

Preliminary information indicates a man shot at three possible robbery suspects. One of them was wounded and taken to a hospital in unknown condition.

KATY, Texas — One person was taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds after a man shot at three possible robbery suspects in Katy.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office says deputies responded to a weapons disturbance at 3099 Fry Road on Saturday afternoon.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said two or three men tried to rob a woman when her husband was able to retrieve a pistol and shoot at them. One of the men was hit and taken to a hospital, where he is being treated, according to Gonzalez.

The shooter remained at the scene and is cooperating with investigators, Gonzalez said.

Deputies suspect this is a "jugging" case. They believe the crooks followed the couple from a bank to the Randall's grocery parking lot, where the crime happened.
