Witnesses told police that Terry originally entered the establishment and began soliciting sex from female patrons but was chased off by several male patrons.  Shortly thereafter, Terry returned with a handgun and began firing randomly in the patio area, striking the two men.  Terry was wrestled to the ground by patrons and later transported to Bayshore Hospital due to the non-life threatening injuries.  Officers searched the area and recovered a small, semi-automatic handgun which was confirmed by witnesses to be the weapon used in the shooting.

The Harris County District Attorney’s Office accepted the charge of Aggravated Assault with a Weapon.
