Elderly woman injured in north Houston drive-by shooting

A drive-by shooter fired into a north Houston home Saturday night, injuring an elderly woman, police said.

The woman was with family at home on the 800 block of Yorkshire Street, police said. She was struck in the leg around 11 p.m. and taken to a hospital, where she was expected to recover.

Houston Police found several spent firearm casings in the road, Lt. C. Bruce said. It appeared the home was shot at several times.

Officers on Saturday night were trying to figure out if anyone saw anything and why the alleged crime occurred.

“They’re conducting their investigation and interviewing the various individuals to see what actually transpired,” Bruce said
