An innocent bystander was shot during an altercation involving multiple groups in southeast Houston early Friday, according to Houston police.
Officers were dispatched to a shooting around 1:45 a.m. Saturday, in the 5400 block of Selinsky Road.
According to police, an assault involving a woman and her boyfriend began for an unknown reason. The woman then rammed vehicles at the scene.
One of the vehicle owners left and returned with additional people, and the assault on the woman continued. The arriving group then became involved in a shooting with another group, police said.
An innocent bystander across the street was struck by two bullets. Officers found the man about a couple hundred yards away from the scene, and he was taken to a hospital with injuries that were not considered life-threatening.
Police also received information about at least one additional possible gunshot victim. That person’s condition was not immediately known.
Police said charges were filed against the woman involved in the initial altercation and the man who returned with additional people.
A second shooting reported on Selinsky Road was determined to be unrelated to this incident, according to police.
