HOUSTON (KTRK) -- An ambulance responding to a call about a shooting victim in east Houston Monday night ended up with bullet holes in it. It happened near North Super and Canal Street. The first 911 call came in as a family disturbance with someone shot in the leg.
When his ambulance arrived, police say there was a man in his car blocking the road. Paramedics asked him to move and eventually drove around him, but as the emergency crews attended to the victim, the suspect pulled out his gun and shot the ambulance at least four times with paramedics inside.
After the shooting, the suspect apparently jumped out of his car and fled.
Officers found his car and with help from witnesses, say they're now focused on finding him.
"There's physical evidence inside the vehicle that matches up to the scene and we do have positive identification," said Sgt. Robert Torres with Houston Police Homicide Division.
Police say the man who was originally shot in the leg ended up being transported by another ambulance. He is listed in stable condition at Ben Taub Hospital and is expected to survive.
There were no injuries in the second shooting.
