A woman at a physical therapy office in northwest Harris County was struck in the leg Tuesday afternoon during a gunfire exchange between armed robbers and an employee, officials said.

The gunfire erupted about 2:30 p.m. at the office at 14721 Pebble Bend, near FM 1960 and Stuebner Airline.

Whether the woman was a patient is unknown.

Several masked men were robbing the office when an employee shot at them, wounding one of the men, the Harris County Sheriff's Office said. That robber returned fire, striking a woman in the leg.

The employee is believed to have a concealed handgun license, officials said.

Authorities are looking for three men wearing hoodies that were red, black and blue. They fled in a black four-door vehicle, possibly a Nissan Maxima or Altima.

Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 713-221-6000.
