HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Three suspects are at large after two students were injured in a shooting near Wisdom High School on Wednesday.
The shooting happened on Beverly Hill Street near Hillcroft in southwest Houston around 4:45 p.m.
Witnesses told HISD officials that one suspect was shooting at the students while another was shooting video of the violence.
According to HISD Police Chief Shamara Garner, about 150 students were still on campus and told to take cover inside. The campus was then placed on lockdown.
Garner said the suspects were seen on campus in a black Chevy Tahoe and then started following a 16-year-old student who was walking with his brother, who is not a student. They were fired upon at Beverly Hill and Unity, captured on video by one of the suspects. That victim sustained a leg injury, she said, and ran to the nurse’s office.
A second person was shot, an 18-year-old girl, the chief said. She was shot in the shoulder.
“It is believed the two brothers possibly were targeted. The female, who was preparing for an after-school activity, is not believed to be the target of the incident,” Garner said.
Garner added that the two victims were both hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries and extra police and counselors will be at the school on Thursday.
