Police say the woman was shot in the eye, but is expected to survive. Two other people were injured in the shootout.

HOUSTON — Three people, including an innocent taco truck employee, were wounded during a shootout in southeast Houston late Sunday night, police said.

This happened just after 11 p.m. in the 1000 block of Edgebrook Drive.

Houston police said a white vehicle was parked in the parking lot of a church near a taco truck when a blue Chevrolet Malibu pulled up and there was an exchange of gunfire.

One of the suspects, a Black male wearing a long sleeve green shirt with a hoodie, ran from the scene heading north, police said. The Malibu sped away but was pulled over by a Harris County Precinct 8 deputy constable a few blocks away.

There were three people inside of the Malibu. Police said one of the occupants was shot in the back and transported to a local hospital.

The other two people have been detained.
