Investigators said four victims were outside of their apartments Sunday, when two men came up and opened fire near the child. The incident occurred at 10:40 p.m. at an apartment complex off Gulfton and Westward.
In the second Pasadena shooting Monday, a man allegedly shot his ex-girlfriend in the 400 block of Glenmore; police responded to a domestic disturbance call at around 1:00 p.m., when they found the woman.
The suspect fled, but, late last night, the man reportedly shot himself in the head, ultimately receiving a transport by Life Flight to the hospital. Authorities said his condition is unknown at this time.
In a third, separate incident, a 50-year-old man died, when four suspects opened fire and tried to carjack a woman and her baby at around the same time as the Pasadena dispute; police said four masked gunmen with rifles and an assault weapon shot two people in the 6800 block of London Street Monday afternoon.
The men reportedly then tried to carjack a woman with a baby, who were able to escape unharmed.
However, a 50-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene.
