HOUSTON — Houston police are looking for a gunman they said shot a woman in the face during an attempted robbery at an apartment complex off the Gulf Freeway early Sunday morning.

This happened at a complex off the I-45 south of Highway 90 Alt.

HPD said the woman was getting home from work at around 1:30 a.m. when she was followed into her apartment's parking lot by an unknown man. 

The man reportedly demanded money from the woman and at some point, police said he shot the woman in the face. The man took off before HPD said the woman ran to her apartment and called police.

Responding officers provided aid at the scene and the Houston Fire Department took her to an area hospital where she's expected to be OK.
