An early morning shooting in northwest Harris County left one person wounded and three people detained as investigators worked the scene well into Thursday morning. The call came in around 1:28 a.m. in the 21000 block of Brushy Canyon Drive, where deputies moved in and began combing the area for evidence. Officials have not released any names or potential charges as the investigation continues.
What deputies say
Deputy constables from Harris County Precinct 4 were dispatched after callers reported an aggravated assault that involved gunfire, according to Click2Houston. Investigators told the station that two people said they had been shot at, and one of them was taken to a nearby hospital with what were described as minor injuries.
Investigators said three suspects were detained while they sorted through witness statements and physical evidence. "Deputies remained at the scene Thursday morning gathering information and processing evidence," Click2Houston reported.
A busy stretch for northwest deputies
The Brushy Canyon shooting unfolded just one day after a separate incident inside a Kroger in the Cypress area that left two people critically injured, a large response that was also handled by Precinct 4 deputies, according to the Houston Chronicle. In both cases, authorities say the investigations are ongoing as detectives work to piece together what happened and determine whether the incidents are related. Residents in northwest Harris County have seen a noticeable spike in law-enforcement presence this week as deputies work scenes and follow up on leads.
No additional details about the Brushy Canyon shooting have been released. Hoodline will update this post as law enforcement provides new information.
