HOUSTON – A man is in a trauma center after police said he was shot while on a late-night food run.

The shooting happened around 11 p.m. Tuesday on near the Gulf Freeway and Telephone Road in southeast Houston, authorities said.

Police said three men and a woman were on their way to get tacos when someone in another vehicle opened fire on them.

The group drove away and pulled into the parking lot of a nearby Luby’s where they called 911, authorities said.
