Gunman detained by bystanders after injuring 3 at Woodlands-area pub, MCSO says

MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- At least three people were left with injuries following a shooting at a Woodlands-area pub early Sunday morning, where one suspect was arrested, according to the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.

Investigators said deputies were dispatched to the Goose's Acre Pub on the Waterway on 21 Waterway Avenue after there were several calls regarding a shooting just after midnight.

Once deputies arrived, the three victims, two men, ages 31 and 29, and a 27-year-old woman, were found with gunshot wounds. Investigators said witnesses at the scene provided aid, and all three were taken to the hospital for treatment.

The suspect, identified as 27-year-old Calvin Rudi Sanders from the Houston area, was arrested after MCSO says bystanders restrained him until law enforcement arrived. He also sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

On Monday, MCSO said the motive for the shooting appears to stem from a verbal altercation between Sanders and another customer at the bar.

Investigators said the verbal dispute turned physical and Sanders took out a handgun and fired, hitting his intended target and injuring two bystanders.

Captain Rhyan Droddy with MCSO said that it was a "very wide scene," and investigators spoke with those who were present at the time of the shooting to gather additional evidence.

Anyone with information regarding the shooting is urged to contact the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office at 936-760-5876 or submit an anonymous tip through Crime Stoppers at 1-800-392-STOP (7867).
