HOUSTON – Five juveniles were driving around in a golf cart in northwest Houston Tuesday night when one of them was shot, police said.

Police said the incident happened on Ferguson Way near West Montgomery Road at around 9:20 p.m.

Officers said a 16-year-old boy is recovering in the hospital after he was shot in the leg and torso.

During the course of their investigation, police said they learned that the teen was on a golf cart with four of his friends when a car with three suspects inside pulled up and opened fire on them. The vehicle was described as being a brown, older model GMC.
