Authorities say a suspected carjacker was shot Sunday morning after a brief chase in northeast Houston.
It happened at North Wayside Dr. and Tidwell Rd. where an unidentified man, about 19-years-old told police he left his car running while he went to throw away trash.
Officers said they found the suspected carjacker at a restaurant on 59 and W Little York and a brief chase ensued before the car lost control and crashed near the Tidwell bridge just west of Wayside. No officers were hurt, but police did fire back, and the suspect was hit. He was rushed to the hospital in serious condition and undergoing surgery. Officials have not identified the suspect, as of this writing, but believe him to be in his 30s. The chief also took a moment to express concern for the continued violence in Houston.
