Overview
- Deputies say a 17-year-old arguing by phone stepped outside his Cypress home as a group of teenagers arrived, and the confrontation turned into gunfire Wednesday night on Yaupon Ranch Drive.
- The 17-year-old, his 35-year-old mother, and his 73-year-old grandmother were wounded and taken to local hospitals, where all were listed in stable condition.
- Investigators believe at least three people fired weapons during the exchange, and the suspects fled before law enforcement arrived.
- Authorities say most or all of those involved are current or former Cy-Fair ISD students and the agency is coordinating with the district to identify participants.
- Gunfire struck vehicles near the home and a projectile lodged within inches of a neighbor’s head, and the sheriff’s office is reviewing surveillance video, interviewing witnesses, and requesting tips through its non-emergency line or Crime Stoppers.
