Yesterday at around 2 PM, North Belt officers responded to the 12800 block of Airline near Aldine Bender after a robbery at a pawn shop.
Two men wearing hoodies and masks walked into the store and stole jewelry from employees. As they were running out, a customer chased after them. That customer had a gun, and both sides started shooting at each other in the parking lot. That same customer was shot in the leg. She was taken to the hospital. The victim is a Hood News Peep’s family member and is currently in stable condition. She was shot in the thigh.
The suspects took off in a Suburban SUV. Officers later found the vehicle abandoned nearby and confirmed it had been reported stolen. No further details at this time. If you were in the area and saw anything, please contact HPD or Crime Stoppers .
