A woman set a gaming machine on fire and was then shot by a fellow gamer who was upset because she wanted to play it next, Houston police said.
The incident occurred in Houston, Texas, about 2:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to KPRC. Two women were using the machine at an unspecified public venue when one of the women became upset at the machine when she began losing, Houston Police Department (HPD) Lieutenant Larry Crowson said.
The first woman began pouring lighter fluid on the machine, then ignited it, while the second woman reportedly was angry because she also wanted to play the machine, police said.
The two women began arguing in the parking lot, at which point the second woman shot the first woman, Houston police said. The first woman was then transported to the hospital where she remained in stable condition, the aforementioned news station reported.
The second woman departed before officers arrived, police said. Newsweek contacted HPD for comment.
