Houston police are investigating after a teen was shot multiple times outside a northwest Houston dispensary late Monday night.
The shooting happened at the Greenhouse dispensary located along Long Point Road.
Investigators said a teen went inside the store before an employee opened fire as the teen was leaving the business.
Police spent hours overnight reviewing surveillance video from inside and outside the dispensary as they work to determine exactly what led up to the shooting.
“We’ve seen a lot of video and it’s pretty clear what happened in the videos,” an officer at the scene said. “But we’ll let the Major Assaults Division contact the DA’s Office, and they can determine whether or not charges will be filed tonight or whether it will be referred to a grand jury.”
Video from the scene showed multiple police units, crime scene tape, and investigators collecting evidence outside the business.
According to police, the teen was shot multiple times but was still conscious and talking when paramedics transported him to a hospital. His current condition has not been released.
Investigators also said the only gun recovered at the scene belonged to the employee involved in the shooting.
The employee’s father told KPRC 2 his son called him immediately after the shooting.
“From what I know, my son called me, said he had shot somebody,” the father said. “I rushed up here to find out that the kid was stealing out of the store. Scared my son. My son shot three times and hit him in the back once.”
As of Tuesday morning, no charges had been announced as investigators continue reviewing surveillance video and interviewing witnesses.
