HOUSTON — No one is in custody after three people were shot Tuesday at a northeast Houston motel, according to police.

The Houston Police Department tweeted about the incident around 8 p.m.

They said it happened at a motel in the 17600 block of the Eastex Freeway.

According to police, a group of three people checked into the motel and went to their room. A short time later, another group of three people checked into the motel and the front desk clerk accidentally gave the second group a card key to the same room as the first group.
