HOUSTON — A report about a suspicious vehicle ended early Saturday with a brazen SUV theft and one shot fired by an off-duty police captain, authorities said.
It happened around 3 a.m. in the 700 block of Preston Street.
Security personnel alerted the captain, who works for the Aldine ISD Police Department, to a suspicious vehicle in the building's parking garage, according to Houston police.
The captain confronted the suspects who were stealing an SUV, police said. He fired once at the vehicle as they sped toward him.
The suspects got away in the stolen SUV and the vehicle they arrived in, and it wasn't clear if the fired shot hit anybody or the vehicle.
There was no word on the suspects' descriptions or what kind of SUV was stolen.
Houston police are still investigating.
