According to Houston police, authorities had plain clothes officers in the area and immediately responded to the shooting in progress call.<\/p>\n
Authorities stated they had a description of the shooting suspect and were able to locate the suspect.<\/p>\n
The suspect was seen fleeing south on Scott Street, got on a METRO bus, rode for a little bit, then got back off, authorities stated.<\/p>\n
That’s when plain clothes officers called for marked units to take the suspect into custody.<\/p>\n
Officials said as the suspect was fleeing, the suspect hid two firearms, a handgun and short rifle-type handgun, in some brush along the METRORail. Both have been located by authorities.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigation revealed two teens and a shooter got into an argument inside a Burger King that spilled into the parking lot.<\/p>\n
Officials believe there had been an ongoing argument for several weeks between the individuals, who are believed to be students at Yates High School.<\/p>\n
Police said they got into an argument again with one male pulling a gun and shooting two teens.<\/p>\n
The teens were taken to the hospital and are in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Authorities said they are reviewing surveillance video for additional evidence.<\/p>\n
What we don’t know<\/p>\n
Officials did not say specifically what led up to the fight, but they are continuing to investigate the motive.<\/p>\n
Neither the suspect nor the victims have been identified by authorities.<\/p>\n
