Police are investigating a drive-by shooting that wounded an off-duty Harris County deputy early Sunday at a home in north Houston.
Officers responded around 1 a.m. to the shooting on Burress Street near Fulton. They found the wounded deputy inside the home. He had been shot in the abdomen while asleep in bed. He was taken to a local hospital and is reportedly in fair condition.
Investigators say the shooting was apparently a random act and not targeted. Relatives, including children, were in the home at the time.
