Two Texas cheerleaders shot in parking lot after almost getting into wrong car

… In Texas, Roth, Washington and two teammates reportedly drove three times each week from Round Rock near Austin to Oak Ridge North, outside Houston, to practice with the Woodlands Elite team. The round-trip is about 360 miles: the girls used the parking lot of a grocery store in Elgin, near Round Rock, as a carpool meeting point.

After midnight on Tuesday, Roth got out of a friend’s car and opened the door to a vehicle that resembled one she had left parked there, Houston TV station KTRK reported. Roth said she was alarmed to find a man in the passenger seat, so she went back to her friend’s car.

The man came up to them. Roth rolled the window down to apologize and explain her mistake. The man pulled a gun and fired into the car, striking both girls, Roth told KRTK. Roth had a graze wound that was treated on scene. Washington was shot in the back and a leg.

“Payton opens the door and she starts throwing up blood,” Roth told KTRK.
