The male suspect, while fleeing from the scene, was caught by a Harris County Sheriff's Office Deputy and a vehicle pursuit began.
It was later determined the initial vehicle the man and woman were in at Costco was also a fresh stolen vehicle that had been taken gunpoint and Harris County deputies had already been looking for.
The male suspect fled into Montgomery County and turned around at Roman Forest, evading officers until he bailed out at the Haverstock Hills Apartments. The suspect then entered an apartment where he remained for a short time before surrendering to officers.
The woman who was initially shot was taken to the hospital and is said to be in stable condition.
