HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Three women were shot and injured after dozens of shots rang out outside a southeast Houston convenience store, according to the Houston Police Department.<\/p>\n
The incident happened around 10:40 p.m. on Tuesday near the corner of Scott Street and Mallow, according to HPD.<\/p>\n
Investigators with HPD said they believe the suspect shot toward the store from a grassy area nearby.<\/p>\n
Two women in their mid-30s were standing in the parking lot when they were each shot in the arm, and another woman in a car nearby was shot in the hand, HPD said.<\/p>\n
The third victim reportedly drove away from the scene before stopping on Vera Street, where she called for help and officers found her.<\/p>\n
The women were taken to the hospital and are expected to be OK, officials said.<\/p>\n
HPD said a bullet hit the convenience store and struck a cooler in the back area, but no one else inside the store was hurt.<\/p>\n
“The investigation is ongoing to figure out who in the heck did this, but they snuck up in here and shot quite a few rounds toward that store,” Lt. Wilkens with HPD said.<\/p>\n
HPD said the suspect shot at least 30 rounds from the nearby area.<\/p>\n
Investigators said they are still working to identify a suspect and motive.<\/p>\n
Anyone with information regarding the incident is urged to contact the Houston Police Department or Crime Stoppers.<\/p>\n
