She told police that something hit her in the back of the head and she awoke after daylight partially clothed in a field behind the gas station, Jordan said.

TEXAS CITY — A couple from Albuquerque, N.M., escaped an attempted carjacking Monday after one man opened fire and struck their car at least twice, police said.
A police spokesman said a man and his wife were on the dike when three men approached them in a sport utility vehicle at 3:21 a.m.
One man shot out the driver’s window as two others tried to gain access to the passenger side of the car.
The man fled, striking the SUV as he left. At least two more shots were fired, one shattered the left, rear window, police said.
The attackers chased the couple to Bay Street where the victims went north and the SUV traveled south.
Police said the victims turned to chase the SUV to see a license plate, but lost the vehicle.
The man was taken to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston for treatment of glass lacerations. A hospital spokesman didn’t list him as a patient Monday afternoon.
Police had made no arrests as of Monday afternoon.
