Man hospitalized after being shot near Spring ISD elementary school; suspects in custody

A large police presence responded to a report of a man being shot near Hoyland Elementary School in North Houston.

Law enforcement sources confirmed that the situation unfolded near the campus and was not related to the school or students in any way.

Pct. 4 Capt. Jose Garza also verified those reports, telling KPRC 2′s Bryce Newberry that the actual shooting occurred at an apartment complex behind the school, and the victim ran to a grassy area of the school campus after being shot. Capt. Garza also said that the victim was transported to a nearby hospital.

Shortly after the shooting scene was reported, Harris County Pct. 4 Constable Mark Herman said that the school was secure, and the authorities had shifted their focus to finding the alleged gunman involved.

A short time later, Constable Herman announced that two suspects had been identified and both were arrested. One suspect tried to evade authorities on foot, but both were captured a short time later.

He added that one of the suspects was found to have an unrelated open warrant for felony indecent assault.

Herman said that the investigation is ongoing.
