HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A fire tore through part of an upscale shopping center in River Oaks.

The fire started just before 2 a.m. near the River Oaks Theatre on McDuffie and West Gray.

Our ABC13 photographer captured flames shooting from an electrical box in the shopping center that contains a Steinway Piano store and an art gallery.

There appeared to be smoke damage to both businesses and possibly the theater.

Firefighters said there is at least $1 million in damage.
