It happened a little after 1:15 a.m. and while it's unclear exactly what led up to the shooting. Based on preliminary information from the Houston Police Department, however, it appears to have started after a constable deputy with Harris Co. Pct. 1 found an unidentified girl, 17, driving erratically in the NRG Stadium's parking lot in south Houston.
We're told the constable deputy tried to pull over the teen driver when a brief chase ensued. Shortly afterward, the teen stopped the car and the officer approached her.
At some point, there was an argument, but it's unclear about what. What we do know is, the officer reportedly discharged her weapon sometime afterward and shot the teen several times.
We're told the 17-year-old is in stable condition and was rushed to Ben Taub hospital. Additionally, it was revealed the girl had open felony warrants and the SUV was reported stolen.
