A strained relationship between a jeweler and his ex-girlfriend sparked gunfire early Wednesday in southwest Houston.

The shooting happened about 3 a.m. in the 5300 block of Westheimer near Sage in the Galleria area, said Lt. Larry Crowson of the Houston Police Department.

Crowson said the man was driving his Rolls-Royce on Westheimer when his ex-girlfriend, who was driving another car, spotted him. She pulled in front of him and stopped, forcing the jeweler to stop. Crowson said the woman got out of her car, pulled out a gun and fired one shot into the Rolls-Royce's grill, disabling the luxury sedan. She then drove away.

No one was wounded.

A private security guard for the jeweler who was driving in a separate car behind him followed the woman. Police were alerted about the incident and soon spotted the woman in her car. She was detained.

No information about what sparked the gunfire was released. However, Crowson said it appeared it be a domestic dispute.

"It's just a strained relationship with an ex-girlfriend," Crowson said.

Crowson said the woman could be charged with aggravated assault or criminal mischief.
