Police believe 50 to 60 gunshots fired near southeast Houston station
More than 50 shots were fired near a southeast Houston police station on Sunday, police said.
Around 1 a.m., officers heard several rounds fired behind the station at 8300 Mykawa Road from a wooded area along Sims Bayou, said Daryn Edwards, assistant chief of Houston police.
“Some of them were fairly close, flying over the tops of their heads so they called it in on the radio,” Edwards said.
According to police radio traffic, at least one bullet landed in the parking lot.
Police surrounded the station and the F.M. Law Park golf course that neighbors the building but no one could be found. Bullet casings from the 50 to 60 estimated gunshots could not be found either, police said. Authorities searched from above in a helicopter and dogs were sent along the bayou.
Police found fresh vehicle tracks in the mud along the bayou, Edwards said.
Edwards said more than one gun was likely used and the suspects were “definitely shooting in the direction of the station.” There was no apparent damage to the building.
Joe Gamaldi, head of the Houston Police Officers Union, called the shooting an attack on police.
