HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Police said an argument over a soccer game led to the shooting of two men inside a restaurant in southwest Houston.

It happened at about 1:30 a.m. at El Rinconsito de Tela on South Gessner, according to police.

Medics applied a tourniquet on one of the men, but both were taken to the hospital in critical condition.

"Right now, the information we're getting is there was some kind of argument over a soccer game that escalated to gunfire," Lt. Larry Crowson said. "Right now, we're waiting to get a condition of both of the victims at the hospital."
