Two cheerleaders were shot, one left with critical injuries, when a man opened fire in a Texas grocery store parking lot after one of the athletes accidentally tried to get into the wrong car, according to police and the owner of a cheerleading gym.
Officers responded to reports of shots fired at the H-E-B supermarket in Elgin, Texas, about 25 miles northeast of Austin, early Tuesday night, according to the Elgin Police Department.
Police said an “altercation occurred” before the man fired into a vehicle in the parking lot, injuring two people inside. One of the victims sustained serious injuries and was transported to an area hospital by helicopter, according to police.
