Investigation into Shooting at 14450 Ellington Park Drive

Charges have been filed against one male shot by another male during an exchange of gunfire between the two at 14450 Ellington Park Drive about 12:15 a.m. on Saturday (Oct. 16).

Bryan Barrett (w/m, 53) is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the 337th State District Court.  A booking photo of Barrett, who remains hospitalized, is not available at this time.

The other male shooter, 33, was not injured.

HPD Major Assaults & Family Violence Division Detectives B.S. Godoy and A. Graf II reported:

Officers were dispatched to a trailer park at the above address and found a male (Barrett) with multiple gunshot wounds and a female, 61, with a minor head injury.  During the investigation it was learned there was an argument between Barrett, the woman and a male.  The argument escalated when Barrett produced a pistol and threatened to kill the male and physically assault the woman.  The male went back to his trailer to arm himself with a pistol.  When he came back outside the male heard a gunshot and returned fire at Barrett, striking him several times.  Barrett fired his pistol at the woman, the man and an occupied trailer.  Paramedics were called and transported Barrett to an area hospital.

Detectives consulted with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, which filed charges on Barrett and declined to file charges on the male.  The investigation is continuing and the incident might be referred to a Harris County grand jury.
