Woman shot at Austin hookah lounge

A woman is recovering after being shot outside a hookah lounge in North Austin about a week ago. Her father is warning others about the "dangerous establishment." Employees of The Ghost Lounge said it’s a safe place.

The Austin Police Department is still investigating a shooting at a North Austin hookah lounge.

APD says around 4:20 a.m., on Nov. 26, officers responded to reports of a shooting in the parking lot of the Ghost Hookah Lounge at 13717 Burnet Road.

When officers arrived, they found one person with a gunshot wound. Witnesses at the scene say they didn't see who shot the victim.

EMS responded and took the victim, later identified by family as 22-year-old Azia Moore, to the hospital. Her father Tyree Moore said earlier this month she is now recovering after spending about a week in the hospital.

"She said she heard shots, and she took off running, and then she just fell to the ground. She tried to get up, and she couldn’t feel her legs," Moore told FOX 7 Austin.

Azia, 22, is in the hospital after being shot outside of The Ghost Hookah Lounge in North Austin.
