One man was shot in the leg during a botched robbery Sunday morning at a small apartment complex in the Montrose area.

Two men were coming home to the complex around 3:30 a.m. when two other men approached them as they got out of their car in the 500 block of Branard, according to Houston police.

The two suspects robbed the men and shot one of them before fleeing. The wounded man, a 30-year-old who was hit in the thigh, was taken to the hospital. His condition was not clear.

Police did not offer a description of the suspects or their vehicle.
