Harris County Sheriff's deputies late Monday were searching for the assailants responsible for a drive-by shooting in Spring that sent two people to the hospital.
A woman driving a car and a male passenger, both 25, were struck about 7:15 p.m. as they pulled out of a Wal-Mart parking lot at 155 Louetta Crossing near the North Freeway.
The suspects were in a tan or gold-colored sedan that pulled up next to the victims and began shooting, detectives said.
"The motive for this is unknown. It's under investigation," said Sgt. James Parker, with the Harris County Sheriff's Department.
The suspects then fled the scene.
Deputies said two other people, including the two year old child of the wounded driver, were in the car when the gunfire erupted.
"Fortunately, neither one of them was injured," Parker said.
Investigators also are searching for a family member of one of the victims who later came to the scene. He fled when deputies tried to question him.
"I was told he did have a weapon," Parker said. However, "at this point it does not appear that he had anything to do with the shooting."
The driver was taken to Ben Taub General Hospital while the wounded passenger went to Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital. Their conditions were unknown late Monday.
"We're not aware of any other people at this location who have been injured," Parker said.

This is right down the road from where I live. I go to that Wal-mart frequently. Hopefully there is more the story, as usually is, and the victims knew the suspects, and it wasn't a random event.
