HOUSTON — A Sterling High School student was shot in the arm Wednesday afternoon while playing basketball on campus.
Houston Police said the shooting occurred at a nearby apartment complex on Selinsky Road. Investigators believe there were at least two guns and two shooters involved.
A witness said the 15-year-old was hit as he was bending down to pick up a basketball.
The student was taken to the hospital. The bullet is being processed as evidence.
A second person, not at the campus, was also taken to the hospital. He is believed to have knocked himself out while running from the gunshots, police said.
