According to Sugar Land authorities, both men were involved in a confrontation at the mall involving six men. Reed allegedly shot another man who was transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital in the Medical Center. The victim later recovered.
After Reed dropped the weapon, McCants reportedly picked up the gun and attempted to fire a shot, but the weapon misfired.
Investigators do not believe the incident was gang related or connected to any other incidents. The confrontation resulted from each group of men staring at the other.
