2 Texas cheerleaders were shot after 1 tried to get in the wrong car after practice

A suspect is in custody after two elite high-school cheerleaders were shot — one of whom was critically injured — in a Texas supermarket parking lot after one of them mistakenly tried to get into the wrong car after a late-night practice.

Police in Elgin, about 25 miles east of Austin, said in a release that 25-year-old Pedro Tello Rodriguez Jr. was charged with “deadly conduct,” a third-degree felony. That’s punishable by two to 10 years in prison or a fine of up to $10,000.
