HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — A woman on the run was arrested in Alabama after allegedly shooting her ex-boyfriend in front of police officers outside the Bellaire Police Department.
The shooting left the man in serious condition early Friday morning, according to police.
Shortly after 2 a.m., police got a call from a group of people in a pickup truck that an armed woman in a Mercedes SUV was following them.
They said the woman, identified as 39-year-old Choima Agurd, was the ex-girlfriend of a passenger in the truck.
According to police, it’s unclear how long or why Agurd followed the group, who stopped at the Bellaire police station to prevent further confrontation with the suspect.

Two officers in patrol cars arrived at the truck occupants when Agurd reportedly circled the truck and fired several shots inside, hitting the front seat passenger.
The officers fired at Agurd, who sped away toward Chimney Rock Road, officials said.
Just after 12 p.m. ET, state troopers in Alabama said they spotted her on I-65 in Montgomery and attempted to pull her over.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency said Agurd led them on a 22-mile chase, which ended in Pine Level, Alabama.
Even after stopping, police said Agurd refused to surrender.
Video shows officers with guns drawn on a grassy area by the side of the highway.
A later video shows police escorting Agurd to a patrol car.
Agurd was booked into the Montgomery County Jail on a felony attempting to elude charge. She also faces two aggravated assault charges for the Bellaire shooting.
