Pasadena mother and 6-year-old son survive shooting after being caught in crossfire on Red Bluff Road near Preston Avenue

PASADENA, Texas (KTRK) — A child and his mother are OK after police say they were stuck in the middle of a shooting while driving in Pasadena.

It happened on Red Bluff Road near Preston Avenue on Wednesday around 6 p.m.

The victim spoke ONLY ON ABC13 and asked to keep her identity secret because she fears for her family’s safety because the shooters are still there.

His vehicle has at least five bullet holes through the rear windows.

The victim’s 6-year-old son was sitting in the backseat when everything happened.

The police are now looking for those responsible and are trying to shed light on this matter.

“It’s scary to think that I almost lost my son (Wednesday),” the victim told ABC13. “I heard gunshots, looked over and saw an armed man hanging outside the car with a big black gun.”

The mother and son were caught in the middle of something that had nothing to do with them, but fortunately they were unharmed.

Their car now shows telltale signs of a frightening encounter.

“I put my arm on him to make sure he stayed on the ground, and that’s when those shots were fired at the car,” the victim told Eyewitness News. “Just innocent people doing their normal daily routine, and this happens.”

Surveillance video from a nearby business captured two cars matching the descriptions of the suspect vehicles: a red car with a person coming out of a window and a beige sedan.

It’s unclear why the two cars fired or where they were heading.

“I can’t imagine if I would have lost my son that day because of these reckless people. I don’t know. I just want them to be caught,” the victim said. “God saved us, that’s for sure.”

It’s a fight for justice as police search for those responsible.

If you have any information about the shooting, you are asked to call the Pasadena Police Department.
