HARRIS COUNTY, Texas — A teen was shot Sunday in northeast Harris County, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
The shooting happened in the 11900 block of Greenrock Lane, which is just inside the Beltway off North Lake Houston Parkway. Gonzalez tweeted about it around 7:30 p.m., about two hours after the shooting happened.
According to preliminary reports, a boy, who's believed to be about 15, was injured in a drive-by shooting.
Authorities said the teen was walking on the sidewalk when a tan car drove by and opened fire.
The teen was struck in the abdomen and several houses were also struck by gunfire, but no bullets made it inside.
Gonzalez said the teen was taken to an area urgent care clinic but was later taken to an area hospital via Life Flight. He was stable at last check.
Investigators said they were canvassing the area to try to find surveillance video of the shooting.
