It happened a little after 10 p.m. just two blocks away from the stadium when Houston police said some gunmen pulled up in a blue truck and opened fire. Two teenagers, a young man and woman, were injured in the drive-by but investigators say the young lady was able to get to S Main Street and Westridge Street to call the police.

Responding officers said the teenagers were shot in the knee and leg but were taken to the hospital in stable condition. We’re told there are no signs to suggest the drive-by shooting had anything to do with the Houston Texans game, despite its proximity to the stadium.
