It happened just after 12:30 a.m. on Augustine Court in College Station.
It's typically a quiet neighborhood where you can often hear the birds chirp and the wind blow.
But Tuesday morning as a College Station man pulled into his driveway, that serenity was broken with the sound of gunfire.
"A vehicle pulled up beside him in a pick-up truck with two black males in it. They asked him a question about directions, and he told him he didn't know," Rhonda Seaton with the College Station Police Department said. "At that point they shot him in the head and fled with his money."
Police say this instance of aggravated robbery appears to be a random act. That means it's not something that would normally occur in this neighborhood.
"It's frightening, it is," Katie Williams said.
Williams says the early morning events have left her a little bit shaken.
"I'm a single woman, so it's pretty scary," Williams said.
But across the street it's a different story.
At the Harris home they say they still feel safe.
"We've been here 35 years and this is a wonderful neighborhood and we'll keep it that way," Ed Harris said.
One reason Harris says he's not living in fear right now is because of his pint-sized protection.
"That's a our guard dog, that's one reason we feel strongly safe, safer I should say," Harris said.
Police say they're trying to find the two men, to keep people feeling safe in this neighborhood.
"We're kind of stuck at ground zero, and are really trying to collect all the information we can," Seaton said.
News Three spoke with the victim Tuesday morning, who had just been released from the hospital. He told News Three that he is grateful to be alive.
The victim says after he was shot he made two calls. One to 911, and one to his daughter to let her know what happened, since he wasn't sure how severe his injuries were.
Fortunately, he survived and will live to call his daughter again.
College Station Police are still looking for the two men who were involved in the shooting and robbery.
The suspects are described as two black males. One with a medium build, the other with a heavy build. They were last seen wearing dark colored shirts, and driving away in a dark extended cab pick-up truck.
