HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- An armed suspect accused of carjacking a woman with a child at a gas station was shot by police overnight near Hobby Airport.
Houston police say that around 12:45 a.m. Monday, patrol sergeants with the Southeast Division saw a Mercedes-Benz speeding over 100 miles per hour down Telephone Road before heading eastbound on Airport.
Officers called dispatch, who relayed that a black Mercedes-Benz had just been taken in a carjacking at a gas station at the Beltway and Telephone Road.
Officials say a man went inside the convenience store, leaving his wife and child in the car. That's when the suspect approached them, forcing the woman and child out at gunpoint. They were not seriously hurt.
