That woman was inside of a car with other people in the Huntsville area when bullets started flying.
Lieutenant Jim Barnes with the Huntsville Police Departments says it all started about 10:30 Sunday night.
Police say the 33-year-old victim was hit twice, once in each leg. She was transported by Life-Flight to Memorial Hermann in Houston where she underwent surgery. Her condition is not expected to be life-threatening.
31-year-old Ira James Baldwin is being held in the Walker County Jail on a $50,000 bond.
He was arrested around 6 a.m. Monday at the Cedarwood Apartments in the 2000 block of Avenue H in Huntsville near the campus of Sam Houston State University.
