Five people, including an infant, were rushed to the hospital Sunday night after a drive-by shooting in south Houston.

The gunfire erupted about 9 p.m. in the 5100 block of Idaho Street near Lozier Street, said Victor Senties, a spokesman for the Houston Police Department.

Senties said a woman and an infant left the scene in the car after the gunfire, stopping later and calling 911 to report the shooting.

The woman and child were rushed to Memorial Hermann hospital. The woman and baby had been shot. Details of their injuries and conditions were not released, but Senties said they had non-life-threatening wounds.

When officers arrived at the scene of the shooting, they found two men with gunshot wounds. They were taken to Ben Taub General Hospital. No information was released about their wounds or conditions, but Senties said the men had non-life-threatening injuries.

While officers were at the shooting scene, a third man told investigators he also had been wounded in the gunfire. He was taken to Memorial Hermann hospital. Details of his wound and condition were not released but Senties said he also had non-life threatening injuries.

Senties said it appears from initial reports that the victims were likely outside when the shooting happened. A dark-colored sports utility vehicle and a white Ford F-350 pickup sped away after the gunfire. No description was available of the suspects in the getaway vehicles.

Investigators are trying to determine what sparked the gunfire. So far, they have no suspects in the case.
