Pregnant woman shot inside Katy-area home

Deputies believe there was a home invasion, but the victim and potential witness are allegedly not cooperating with investigators.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — Deputies near Katy were called to a reported shooting at a home overnight.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office responded late Monday night to the 22500 block of Auburn Valley, near Clay and Grand Parkway.

Captain T. Shelton said they found blood trails, shell casings and drug paraphernalia at a home, but whoever was shot was no longer at the scene.

Detective Wyatt later confirmed a woman was shot twice at the home and was taken to the hospital by a man in a private vehicle, but early on neither of them were cooperating with the investigation.

Detectives believe the man live at the home, but it's unclear what his relationship to the shooting victim is. He has been detained as the investigation continues.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez later tweeted the victim is pregnant but both she and her baby are doing well.

Right now, investigators believe the shooting was the result of a home invasion. Neighbors called 911 because they heard loud noises and saw people running from the home.

A warrant is being obtained so HCSO investigators can go into the home. The HCSO Violent Crimes Unit and Narcotics Unit are investigating.

"We’ve received fragmented and conflicting information about the scene itself, so our Investigators are piecing things together," tweeted Gonzalez.

Call Houston Crime Stoppers at (713) 222-TIPS if you have any information that could lead to an arrest.
