On Monday, hear from Houston police on how many of thousands of shootings every year across the city end up getting solved.As 13 Investigates looks into the cost of gun violence, we spoke with shooting victims who survived and told us it has forever changed their lives - from unwanted medical bills simply because they were innocent bystanders in a shooting to living in fear that a suspect hasn't been caught.
Although detectives are assigned to every shooting, Houston police tell us they have to consider what they call solvability factors: a known suspect, a cooperating victim, surveillance video and eyewitnesses - without a few of those, it's not likely HPD can afford to give it much time and even they admit it isn't enough.
