No charges have been filed so far in a fatal shooting earlier this week on Interstate 45. Houston police said a man killed one man and wounded two others after they fired at him while driving in the 9400 block of North Freeway about 12:20 a.m. Wednesday. Officers were called to a gas station in the 7400 block of North Shepherd because three males had been shot. Investigators determined that the men had been shot at the freeway and drove to the Shell station. According to police, they were driving a white Pontiac Grand Prix when they fired gunshots at the driver of a truck. Then they exited the freeway at West Gulf Bank. The truck driver stopped on the West Gulf Bank overpass and got a rifle from his back seat for protection, police said. As he looked over the side of the freeway to see the license plate of the Pontiac, he saw the car's driver's side window open and feared the suspects would shoot at him again. He fired several shots at the Pontiac, hitting the passenger who was sitting in the front seat and another man who was in the back seat. The front-seat passenger, 17, was taken to Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital, where he later was pronounced dead. The Ponitac's driver, who was cut in the face by flying glass and shrapnel, and rear seat passenger were treated at the hospital. Their conditions are not immediately known. A 19-year-old man who was passenger in the car ran away, but was later found and questioned. |
