One of the victims was critically injured in the shooting that unfolded early Tuesday outside an H-E-B supermarket in Elgin, Texas, police said.
A man has been arrested after two Texas cheerleaders were shot, one critically, after one of them mistakenly got into the wrong car, according to police and the owner of the gym where they trained.
Officers in Elgin, about 25 miles northeast of Austin, responded to reports of shots fired outside an H-E-B supermarket around 12:15 a.m. local time (1:15 a.m. ET) Tuesday, the Elgin Police Department said in a news release.
"Information suggests that an altercation occurred in the parking lot of H-E-B, and multiple shots were fired into a vehicle," police said. Two of the car's occupants were struck by gunfire, with one victim sustaining serious injuries and transported by helicopter to a hospital, where they were listed in critical condition, police said.
The suspect, Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr., 25, has been charged with deadly conduct, a third-degree felony, police said.
Lynn Shearer, owner of Woodlands Elite Cheer Co., told NBC affiliate KXAN of Austin that the two people shot were cheerleaders who were on their way home from practice.
Shearer said the cheerleaders typically carpooled from the Austin area to her gym. On Monday night, she said at least four cheerleaders were on their way back to the Austin area and had to stop at an H-E-B, where some of the members had parked their cars.
One of the girls accidentally tried to get into the wrong car, Shearer said. That's when, she said, a "guy got out and they saw that he had a gun. And so they tried to speed off and he shot his gun, like five times or so into the car." Woodlands Elite did not immediately respond to an overnight request for comment. The Elgin Police Department also did not immediately respond to an overnight request from NBC News seeking to confirm these details.
According to ABC News, Heather Roth, a cheerleader with the Woodlands Elite, said in an Instagram Live post that she was the one who got out of her friend's car and opened the door of another vehicle she thought was her own, only to notice a man was in the passenger seat. She said she got out of the car and back into her friend's vehicle, the report said.
Roth reportedly said the man approached their vehicle and she rolled down a window to apologize. That's when the man started shooting, she said, according to ABC News. The Instagram Live post was no longer available early Wednesday, but Roth shared a number of posts that appeared to be related to the incident. She did not immediately respond to overnight request for comment.
Victim critically injured known as a 'role model' Shearer identified the cheerleader who was critically injured in the shooting as Payton Washington, of the Round Rock Independent School District.
“She’s won every title there is to win in all-star cheerleading. She’s literally a role model for the kids in this industry throughout the country,” Shearer said. “Everybody knows her. She’s literally one of the very best that’s ever done this sport.”
Messages of support for Washington have poured in on social media in the wake of the shooting, with a prayer organized by Woodlands Elite held Tuesday. Meanwhile, a GoFundMe page organized by the Woodlands Elite Generals to help raise money to cover her hospital costs had raised more than $60,800 as of early Wednesday.
The GoFundMe page said Washington was "stable in the ICU and will have a long road to recovery."
Shearer said the cheerleaders had "grown up" in her gym. "We’ve known them for years, some of them literally, since they were, you know, 8, 10 years old,” she said. “So they’re like our family.”
The shooting, she said "was unfortunate. These girls were just trying to get home."
As Washington faces a long road to recovery, Shearer said, she and the Woodlands Elite team would be there to support her and others affected by the shooting every step of the way.
“Our goal right now is to take it one day at a time and be there for them,” Shearer said.
Shooting comes following 2 similar incidents The shooting comes on the heels of two other eerily similar high-profile incidents in which the victims were allegedly shot after mistakenly approaching the wrong addresses.
Last week, 16-year-old Ralph Yarl was shot and seriously injured after mistakenly ringing the wrong doorbell in Kansas City, Missouri, while trying to pick up his siblings in an incident that sparked national outrage.
Just days later, Kaylin Gillis, 20, was fatally shot by a homeowner after the car she was riding in mistakenly turned into the wrong driveway in upstate New York.
The two incidents sparked a national conversation around gun violence and “stand your ground” laws, according to which a would-be shooter defending life or property does not have to retreat before taking violent action. The shooting of the cheerleaders is likely to further fuel the discussion.
My folks went to a party in Los Angeles around 1954 driving their new Ford Station Wagon. Like many folks in the 50s, the post WW II crowd loved a good time and lots of booze. They got in the wrong car and drove it home! Somehow they discovered the mistake the next morning and got it all straightened out. I never got a chance to ask Dad for the details, but he probably wouldn’t have remembered them anyway.
Back then, there weren’t that many car key combinations and (obviously) no chips or car alarms.
About 25 years ago, we were in a hotel and my then young son asked me about the key cards, how they worked, why they only worked on our room. He asked me “So it won’t work on any other room” and I replied “Nope.” So he grabbed our key and started down the hall testing it and, on the THIRD door he tried, it unlocked the door. He ran back to our room rather scared. I could not believe it.
Whatever happened to attempted murder?
Yeah, that’s what I’m talking ‘bout! I never blasted a single one of them.
Can this be called an ‘epidemic’ yet?
“Wrong Door” fever?
The most common ‘treatment’ is pretty rough on the patients.
Egads, man!
Yes, I might be tempted to make exceptions.
“Lots of shootings lately that seem triggered by people not knowing where they are going.”

The incremental zombification of America.
Look at all the “scary teens” stories we get. Those stories create fears. Fear creates action, usually dumb action.
Is the embedded slideshow the girl who got shot?
She’s cute. Seriously cute. Kind of reminds me of Joy Villa.
She’s ‘way too young for me, so I’d have to ask her nicely to find her own car ...
The maids have a card that works on every door.
Think about that.....................
yep! that is why I posted it (I have never known howt to post a picture here)
She is extremely hot, no freaking idea why anyone would shoot her.
Somebody’s going to theorize that our inner compass or sense of direction has been thrown off kilter due to the polarity of the earth being changed from Sunspots.
From Weather.Gov
“If Sunspots are active, solar flares will result in creating an increase in geomagnetic storm activity.
This may result in disruptions of radio transmissions and power grids.”
Maybe, distracted teenagers should be added to that list.

that video link is all about the cheerleader who was shot
Good question!
When cheerleaders climb into my car, the last thing on my mind is shooting them.
This is my weapon: this is my gun.
One is for fighting: One is for fun.
OK, this is not a funny story, yet here I am LOL!
I was on a business trip years ago. One of our VP’s came out of the hotel in the morning and got into what he thought was his rental car. His key worked, and he drove off.
The cops pulled him over. When he explained, they took him back to the hotel, and his key indeed worked in the correct car. They didn’t press charges.
I used my key card on the wrong hotel room once. I walked in and a woman’s voice came from the shower, saying “Honey, is that you?”
I said “No, but I’m out of here.”
Yet another example of tragedy caused by the growing sense that people are on their own when it comes to protecting themselves from criminals.
