A woman was taken to a hospital after she was shot during a suspected home invasion, Corpus Christi police said.

About 10:12 p.m. Monday, Corpus Christi police officers were called to an apartment complex in the 5900 block of Weber Road for a shooting, Senior Officer Travis Pace said.

Officers found an 18-year-old woman had been shot. She was taken to the hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries, Pace said.

Police spoke to people inside an apartment where the shooting may have occurred.

A 22-year-old man told police two men and two women asked him for gas money for someone he knew, Pace said.

"He said he was pepper sprayed and the (people) forced their way in," Pace said. "He fired rounds to protect himself and struck the 18-year-old woman."

The others fled the area.

Police continue to investigate the incident that may be a burglary with intent to commit a felony, Pace said.

Anyone with information on the incident should call Corpus Christi Crime Stoppers at 361-888-8477.
