Home invasion Houston, Texas: Woman in her 70s shot, killed in shootout with suspects on Lockwood near Cavalcade, police say
Texas police say a woman in her 70s was killed during a shootout with home invasion suspects early Monday morning.
The Houston Police Department says the shooting happened at a home on Lockwood near Cavalcade. HPD says they were called to the home around 1:50 a.m. local time.
According to HPD, two masked suspects, one man and one woman, broke into the home.
Police say the homeowner, a woman in her late 70s, and the two suspects got into a gunfight.
HPD says both of the suspects were shot, and the older woman was killed.
So far, authorities have not revealed a motive or what the suspects were going after.
"The homeowner was an elderly, late 70s female. She exchanged gunfire with the suspects. She struck both suspects. They were transported to a local area hospital, where one is in critical condition. The other is stable," HPD Lt. JP Horelica said.
HPD says other people were at the house when the shooting happened, but so far, they believe the shots fired back and forth were just between the suspects and the homeowner.
