HOUSTON (KTRK ) -- A mother who pulled into a southwest Houston gas station overnight could never have imagined what happened next. Her 1-year-old baby in the backseat of her car was shot. The pair was caught in the middle as police confronted a chase suspect.
The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday at a Chevron gas station near the Southwest Freeway and Beechnut.
Police say the officer who opened fire didn't know the baby was in the back seat.
The baby's mother was parked at the gas station at pump 4. She was outside her car getting gas, and her baby was in the back seat.
