Harris County deputies are calling a woman who escaped from an armed thief “a little warrior.”

Deputies said the Houston woman wrestled with a man who tried to snatch her purse.

It happened in the 15600 block of Liberty Pine Lane in Northwest Harris County.

The suspect reportedly shot the woman twice, but she still didn’t let go of her money.

That victim, who has not been identified, is in the hospital recovering.

Her attacker is still on the loose.

If you have any information, you’re asked to call the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.
