A 9-year-old girl was shot in the head in what Houston police suspect was a road-rage shooting after her family's sport utility vehicle came between two racing vehicles, police said.

The incident happened shortly after 9 pm Tuesday on Interstate 69 in southwestern Houston.

A police statement says the family's SUV was inbound when it got between two vehicles that appeared to be racing. One of the vehicles, a white pickup truck, cut off the SUV several times, then pulled behind the SUV.
