At least six people were injured, but only one man, Chief Finner said, was in serious condition, who at last check was out of surgery. There was initially a belief that someone was stabbed, but they were actually injured by flying glass.

Several off-duty officers were also part of the investigation, and are looking into the cause. Additionally, police are looking into surveillance footage and do not have a person in custody but believe there may be more than one shooter, as one person was seen running toward a McDonald's drive-thru, so searches remain underway.

"Make no mistake about it," Chief Finner said. "We're gonna find out who did it. And we're gonna hold them accountable." 

Sunday's shooting marks just the latest during a busy weekend for law enforcement officials, but the chief reassured crime numbers in Houston were down, and his officers are hoping to keep them that way.
