HOUSTON – A Houston couple described a 30-minute nightmare that grew more violent by the second. They said at times, they feared for their lives, especially after someone fired shots as they made their escape in west Houston. The video Betty is referring to was posted to social media and she saw it the day after the incident. “We didn’t have a path to get out and there were cars still doing donuts in the middle of the street,” she said. It would have hit her and then it would have hit me in the passenger seat,” Betty said.
