HOUSTON Texas (KTRK) — Police believe a fit of road rage led to a 14-year-old girl being shot multiple times Monday night in north Houston.
The teen is in critical condition after what police described as a “traffic altercation” that happened around 8:30 p.m. along W Montgomery Road.
Lt. Larry Crowson with Houston police said a woman and three teens, ages 14, 15 and 16, arrived at an emergency room in the 500 block of West Tidwell shortly after. The woman’s foot was grazed by a bullet, but the 14-year-old girl had several gunshot wounds, according to police.
