Harris County Sheriff's Office officials investigate a non-fatal shooting that occurred early Sunday.A man was shot in west Houston early Sunday after talking to another man's girlfriend, according to Houston police.
Around 2 a.m., two men had been walking outside a hookah bar near 13900 Westheimer Road and began talking to a woman, Lt. Ignacio Izaguirre told OnScene TV reporters. The woman's boyfriend became upset and took out a gun, shooting at the two men multiple times. Officers recovered 14 or 15 shell casings from the scene, Izaguirre said. One of the men was shot in the leg and the back.
Two police officers had been conducting a traffic stop nearby and heard the gunshots, then saw the two men running toward them for help. The man who had been shot was taken to a nearby hospital in an unknown condition, although authorities have said he was expected to survive. The other man remained at the scene to help investigators, according to Izaguirre.
Officers were able to review security camera footage and they recovered a gun near the scene, Izaguirre said. There were several witnesses, but none stayed at the scene, he added. The shooting was being investigated by Houston's Major Assaults division.
