HOUSTON — Houston police are investigating after a man was shot in the chest early Sunday morning during a drive-by shooting on the city's north side.
Police said the man, who was only described as being in his 40s, was sleeping in the bedroom of his home in the 5000 block of Werner Street when he was woken up by gunshots.
One of the bullets struck him in the chest.
Paramedics were called to the home and took the man to a nearby hospital. Police said he is expected to survive.
