Video shows shootout after auto-theft attempt in Baytown; police looking for suspects

Baytown police are asking for information about suspects involved in an aggravated assault and shootout on June 30.

Shootout in Baytown neighborhood

The backstory:

The police department released Ring video of the incident that happened in the 4700 block of Stonebridge around 4:40 a.m.

Bobby, a resident, says bullets came flying through his window, nearly hitting him. 

"They saw me looking through my window, and they shot two 45-slugs straight through my window," he said. "If I wouldn't have ducked they [would have] killed me, shot me in my heart."  

According to authorities, a neighbor interrupted the suspects' attempt to steal a vehicle, which led to an exchange of gunfire.

Another neighbor, Puala, says a bullet came through her kitchen. "All of a sudden we just heard a lot of shots going off. I ran to where my grand kids were," she said. "I had all 8 of my grandkids here with me."
