Police say the employees detained two suspects, but two others drove off and fired shots at an employee.

That's when one of the employees fired back with an AR-15.

Police say that a man with a gunshot wound showed up at West Houston Medical Center 30 minutes after the attempted burglary.

It's not clear if that person was one of the suspects.

There were several shoes and electronics found in the vehicle at the gun range allegedly driven by one of the suspects, according to police.
