Harris County investigators are still working a case where a girlfriend shot her boyfriend yesterday in the Elyson community. The case shows another example of domestic violence, a crime that continues to rise in our area.

Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call around 9:00 a.m. yesterday when a neighbor called reporting a shooting that took place at the 23700 Blackhaw Blossom Lane.

The victim is a 45-year-old male and was shot once in the groin. He was transported before deputies arrived by either a friend or family member to a nearby hospital and was reported to be critical yet stable.

He was shot by his 42-year-old girlfriend. The couple have lived in their home in the Elyson community for two and a half years. According to authorities, neighbors say there was a history of noise coming from the home.

This case is still under investigation. Authorities did say that the altercation that led to the shooting occurred when the boyfriend tried to leave the house.

Acts of domestic violence continue in increase throughout the country. According to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, over 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men in the U.S. have experienced a rape, physical violence and/or stalking by an intimate partner in their lifetime.

Katy has many resources that can help residents avoid making the news and get help.
