completely different name
different city
at 3am
was a drive by, so no suspects on the scene (no immediate threat)
and she was immediately driven to the ER by the parents (injured already taken care of)

I can see why a police response was delayed in Houston (basically to file a police report). There was no delay (as I've read in the reports) in emergency response as the parents took immediate action and got the poor girl to the hospital. (ie, they didn't sit around waiting for 4 hours)

Read a lot about that kind of prioritization in Philly now :/ No threat, no injured that needs police attention - turns into a paperwork call.
