HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — A 20-year-old is expected to survive after being caught in a shootout involving several people in northeast Harris County overnight on Monday, according to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
The incident occurred around 1 a.m. near the Eastex Freeway and Aldine Bender Road.
Investigators reported that two groups at an apartment complex got into an altercation, which escalated into gunfire. Officials are unsure who fired first.
The nature of the argument remains unclear.
The 20-year-old victim was shot in the arm. It is not known if the victim knew either of the groups involved. They were taken to Kingwood Hospital and are expected to recover.
No other injuries were reported.
Witnesses at the scene provided little information, and an investigation is ongoing.
This incident marks the second shooting in two days where someone was injured due to gunfire resulting from an argument. Early Sunday morning, a 5-year-old in southwest Houston was hurt by shattered glass after an altercation turned into a shootout.
