Gunfire outside barber shop injures 9-month-old baby in east Harris Co.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man and a 9-month-old baby in two separate vehicles were injured by gunfire after they were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office said the trouble began when three robbery suspects held up a man near a barber shop just after 9 p.m. in east Harris County.

At one point, the robbery suspects opened fire on the man, sending a spray of bullets towards two unrelated vehicles.

When the 9-month-old baby was struck by gunfire, the child's mother put the car in gear and took off.
