HOUSTON, Texas — A pair of Houston teens are hospitalized after being shot while attempting to rob a family, police said.
Sometime after midnight this morning, officers were dispatched to the 6800 block of Feather Creek Drive in response to a shooting, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.

Sitting inside, was the couple's 1-year-old child.
Police said the father responded by shooting several rounds at the teens, striking both suspects.
The wife, who had been driving at the time, then drove off in an attempt to get away from them.
