HARRIS COUNTY, TX – A 16-year-old was Life Flighted to the Texas Medical Center after a shooting at a home in the Humble area.

Deputies responded around 1:20 a.m. to an in-progress call at a residence in the 10700 block of Spring Brook Pass. When deputies arrived, two teenage girls were waiting in the driveway and told them their 16-year-old brother had been accidentally shot by one of their friends.
