HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Two teenagers were among three people injured in a shooting on Sunday in west Houston, according to the Houston Police Department.

At about 1 a.m., Houston police responded to a shooting near Westheimer Road and Westhollow Drive.

Upon arrival, police say they found dozens of bullet casings and trails of blood.

Just a short time later, they received another call from an urgent care center about a car showing up with a 16-year-old boy and an 18-year-old man injured from the shooting.

HPD says the 16-year-old had eight gunshot wounds. He and the 18-year-old are stable.

Police were later called to a gas station, where they found a man, who they believe to be injured from the same shooting, in his 20s who was shot in the leg. His condition is unknown.

Investigators believe there was a gunfight between two parties in the parking lot with at least 30 shots fired.
