One of those victims, Kevin Chap, spoke exclusively to Eyewitness News after he was taken to Ben Taub Hospital in serious condition. Meanwhile, the second victim is in critical condition at Memorial Hermann Southwest Hospital.

The 33-year-old father of three had just left home, driving on Law Street, when he heard a loud bang.

Blood came rushing down Chap's neck and he realized he was caught in the gunman's rampage.

He says he somehow was able to muster the strength to seek help, getting out of the car as police sought after his shooter.

Fortunately, EMS was able to carry Chap to an ambulance and doctors began treatment upon his arrival to Ben Taub Hospital.

Doctors say he will be okay, but many questions remain as to why the shooting happened in the first place.
