HOUSTON — A man and woman are both hospitalized after a possible road rage shooting Saturday afternoon in northwest Harris County
Harris County Sheriff's Office confirmed the man is in critical condition after he was taken to the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds, including injuries to his abdomen and possibly a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators said the woman was shot in the ankle.
Both people were in the same vehicle when it happened, deputies said.
HCSO said the shooting took place about 3:40 p.m. on West Little York at Sam Houston Parkway.
The driver of other vehicle involved continued down West Little York and stopped inside a parking lot at Brittmore Road. He called 911 and remained at the scene until deputies arrived. The driver is cooperating with the investigation, according to officers.
It's still unclear what triggered the dispute.
HCSO Lt. Cedric Cook said investigators think one of the drivers cut off the other vehicle, but that's just preliminary information. Deputies have confiscated one weapon and are still trying to confirm if both parties fired guns.
Investigators said one of the people involved is claiming self-defense. No charges have been filed at this time.
Deputies are still talking to potential witnesses.
This is a developing story and will be updated when more information is available.
