   A man suspected of aggressive, reckless driving was hospitalized after   
   being shot multiple times.   
      
   Houston Police Lieutenant Willkens says the shooter fired at the man after   
   he brake-checked him and blocked his vehicle in the roadway while he had a   
   pregnant female passenger in the car.   
      
   No charges have been filed against the shooter at this time.   
      
   HOUSTON - A man accused of driving recklessly in northeast Houston was   
   shot multiple times in self-defense, according to police.   
      
   Houston police say the man, in his mid-40s, is in the hospital and   
   expected to survive. He was shot in the torso, arm, and leg, officials   
   say.   
      
   McCarty Street shooting   
      
   The backstory   
      
   Houston Police Department Lieutenant Willkens reports the man was driving   
   recklessly in a pickup truck on the 610 Loop around 9:30 p.m. Friday   
   night.   
      
   He was swerving through lanes and at one point focused on a vehicle which   
   had a man in his early 20s driving with a pregnant female passenger.   
   Willkens reports the man started brake-checking the vehicle.   
      
   In an attempt to get away from the truck, the young man in the vehicle   
   exited off 610 Loop on to North McCarty Street, officials said.   
      
   The truck followed them and started yelling threats at the two in the   
   vehicle. Police say the man started driving in the wrong way of traffic,   
   turned, and blocked the car from going anywhere.   
      
   Lt. Willkens states the aggressive driving male got out of the truck,   
   approaching the vehicle with his hands near his pockets.   
      
   Fearing for his life, the younger male, who was a former security guard,   
   fired shots in self-defense at the man through his front windshield and   
   side window, police state.

   Once he was down, the young man in the vehicle got out to handcuff the man   
   and call 911.   
      
   Lt. Willkens says the driver and his passenger stayed at the scene to   
   cooperate with police. They were not injured, police say.   
      
   No charges have been filed at this time.   
      
   Houston Police Department Lieutenant Willkens shared information about the   
   shooting at the scene.
