Montgomery County deputies arrested a shopper at The Woodlands Mall this afternoon after shooting at the man inside a Jaguar XJ6, the Montgomery County Police Reporter is reporting.

Officers responded to a mall security's report of a man using a stolen credit card at at least two businesses at the mall, the Reporter said.

After the man exited the mall, he jumped in the black Jaguar and mall security attempted to block him, according to the Reporter. After that, a deputy fired into the car but missed the suspect, who was then arrested.

KHOU-TV reports that the man was accused of using the stolen card at a Macy's around 1 p.m.
