Victoria Drive shooting

What we know:

According to investigators, the man shot lived at the home with his mother and father.

The father and son got into an argument over keys to one of the vehicles, but it is unclear why they were arguing over the keys. At some point, the argument became physical, and the mother got involved in an attempt to get between them.

Lt. Willkens stated the fight with all three eventually went to the floor. It is believed the father then fired several shots from a pistol.

When officers got to the home, they put a chest seal on the son and provided first-aid, authorities say. He was taken to the hospital by Houston Fire Department paramedics.

The mother and father were cooperative with police. A couple of other pistols were found at the scene, Lt. Willkens said.

Houston police are working with the District Attorney's Office to determine who is going to be charged or if anyone will be charged at all.

What we don't know:

Police don't know why the son and father were arguing over the vehicle keys.
