When officers arrived on the scene, along with the fire department, they found two adult Hispanic males shot. 

Both men were taken to the hospital, are said to be in stable condition, and expected to survive. 

Authorities said preliminary information suggested there was a car in a parking lot of an apartment complex, which was across the street from a Spring Branch school. 

At some point, an altercation occurred at the apartment complex. 

That's when, officials believe, a male is believed to have fired multiple shots from a rifle out the window of the apartment complex into a car, where the two victims were struck.
