Two bystanders were shot Saturday night outside a west Houston bar, authorities said.
An altercation inside the Bourbon St. Daiquiris Cocktail Lounge spilled out into the parking lot in the 12900 block of Westheimer just before midnight.
At least one person pulled out a gun and opened fire, hitting two women sitting inside a gray SUV, according to Houston police. The gunfire left their car with shattered windows and multiple bullet holes.

One woman was shot in the elbow and the other in the leg. Both were rushed to the hospital and are expected to survive.
Witnesses did not cooperate with police and the suspects are still at large. It's not clear what sparked the initial dispute or how many people were involved.
Although an off-duty Fort Bend officer was working an extra security job at the bar that night, he didn't catch sight of the shooting or possible shooters.
