HOUSTON – "It's a dangerous job, but someone's got to do it."
Robert Solis, a wrecker driver with Parking & Towing Experts, said he was towing an illegally parked SUV from the Haverstock Hills Apartments Wednesday night when a group of men started shooting at him and his partner.

"There was nothing we could do, we just [...] jumped out through the driver's side and ducked for cover," Solis said.
According to the Harris County Sheriff's Office, the tow truck was hit six or seven times. Incredibly, neither Solis nor his partner were struck by bullets.
Deputies told Channel 2 that whoever the gunmen were, they had no connection to the SUV being towed.
In fact, the SUV was released to its owner when he arrived back at the apartment complex.
As of Friday morning, no arrests had been made.
