3 men hurt following drive-by shooting in northwest Harris County, Precinct 4 Constable says

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Three men were hospitalized after a drive-by shooting outside a community center in northwest Harris County on Thursday, the Precinct 4 Constable said.

Images from the active scene showed several law enforcement vehicles and deputies conducting an investigation.

Deputies said they responded to the shots fired call in the 12100 block of Swords Creek Road on Thursday evening.

According to Precinct 4 Constable's Office Captain Buddy Gheen, there were three Black men in their early to late 20s, who sustained gunshot wounds and were rushed to the hospital using one car.

Gheen said that detectives gathered surveillance footage from nearby homes and determined that two men were engaged in an illegal narcotics transaction at the Heritage Village HOA community. Additionally, Gheen said that a struggle ensued, where the two individuals exchanged gunfire before fleeing the scene.

At this time, law enforcement said that they did find a gun in the car that the three men rode in, but it's too early to say if any of the victims are considered suspects.

Authorities are still searching for another car described as a white sedan.
