HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Police are investigating a drive-by shooting that happened while a crowd was gathered for a slab car event on Houston's southside along Old Spanish Trail.

According to investigators, a man in his 20s was shot in the leg and shoulder. Another man was shot in the head.

The third victim -- a 24-year-old woman who was shot in the lower back -- was able to leave the location and call for help.

"While the individuals were gathered in one parking lot, a vehicle that's only been described as a white car drove by and shot in the Foot Locker parking lot, into a crowd of people. In that crowd we had three victims struck," Lt. J.P. Horelica said.
