GROVES, Texas — Police in Groves are investigating after a Tuesday night shooting sent one man to the hospital and one to jail.
Groves officers were called to a gas station at Main Ave and Gulfway Dr at about 9:25 p.m. Tuesday night and found a man suffering from a gunshot wound to the foot according to Sgt. John Hudson.
The wounded man, who was not cooperative with police, was taken by ambulance to a Southeast Texas hospital.
He would only tell officers someone shot him for no reason, Hudson said.
When officers arrived they noticed a man wearing a hoodie walk into the store and put something on a shelf. They then found a gun on the shelf and arrested the main on a misdemeanor charge of unlawfully carrying a weapon according to Hudson.
Police say shell casings found at the scene of the shooting are similar to ones found inside the store.
This is a developing story. We will update with more if and when we receive more confirmed information.
