In the early hours at a Spring Branch apartment complex in Houston, a woman was approached by armed men attempting to carjack her. According to Click2Houston, around 2:15 a.m., she fired back at the attackers, causing them to become briefly trapped by the property's gate as they tried to escape.
The exchange of gunfire ended when an unidentified man rushed to help a woman. During the chaos, he was shot in the leg by one of the gunmen. The man was later taken to the hospital and is in stable condition. The assailants used the distraction to climb a fence and flee before law enforcement arrived, as stated by Click2Houston.
In southwest Houston, a woman defended herself from several armed robbers by drawing her gun, leading to a shootout that caused the assailants to flee on foot and evade capture by jumping a fence. Houston Police are investigating the incident and reviewing surveillance footage to identify the perpetrators, but have yet to release a detailed description of the attackers. They are urging the public to come forward with any information that could aid in the investigation, as reported by CW39.
