HOUSTON – A gas station clerk and a suspect were shot during an attempted robbery in south Houston early Saturday.
Police said two masked suspects entered the Valero gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. at Belarbor around 6:30 a.m.
Authorities said one of the suspects was armed and shot a store clerk in the leg as the other suspect jumped over the counter and started looking for money.
Police said another store clerk then grabbed a gun and fired several shots, hitting one of the suspects twice in the chest.
Authorities are searching for the other suspect and a possible getaway driver, who both fled the scene.
The wounded clerk was transported to the hospital and is expected to be OK.
The injured suspect was found at a nearby house and was taken to the hospital in unknown condition.
