Amidst the Black Friday shoppers at the Willowbrook Mall, authorities said no other injuries occurred when the altercation went south around 12:30 p.m.

“The first male stabs the second male,” HPD spokeswoman Jodi Silva said in an interview with the Houston Chronicle.

Investigators believe the stabbed man retaliated by firing a gun at his attacker, Silva said further.

“One witness said that she saw two Hispanic males get into a confrontation, she heard a gunshot, and, at that time ,she hid behind a tree to protect herself,” Sgt. Richard Rodriguez, a detective with Houston Police Homicide division, said in an interview with Click2Houston.com.

The stabbed man reportedly received transport to Memorial Hermann Hospital in stable condition, according to the Chronicle.
