HOUSTON — A man accused of shooting two people is on the run after an argument early Tuesday in the south Houston area, police said.
The Houston Police Department said the shooting happened in the 8400 Winkler around 2 a.m.
Investigators said the victims were drinking beers in the parking lot of an apartment complex when a man approached them, asking if they were interested in buying drugs.
Police said the victims declined, and the man started to leave, but then an argument broke out between the three.
At some point, he fired a weapon at the two men hitting them both in the legs, officers said. He then ran off.
The victims were taken to the hospital when first responders arrived. They are expected to survive.
Police are still searching for the alleged shooter.
