A DEA agent shot and wounded a man who allegedly tried running him over Saturday in a hotel parking lot in Houston, the Houston Chronicle reports.

The shooting happened in the afternoon at the Houstonian Hotel.

The Chronicle reports that a DEA task force showed up in the employee parking lot of the hotel as part of a probe into several suspects. One of the suspects floored the vehicle, heading toward the DEA agent, who opened fire and struck the suspect several times.

The suspect was treated at the hospital for non-life threatening wounds. Three other people were arrested at the scene.
