A nail salon worker in Texas was shot Saturday during a confrontation over a bill, police say.

Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez tweeted around 6:45 p.m. that officials had responded to the Katy nail salon where a worker had been shot.

Two women had just received a service at the salon and got upset about their bill, officials told KTRK.

The worker was shot in the chest, according to KHOU.

“It doesn’t make any sense,” Jason Spencer with the Harris County Sheriff’s Office told KTRK. “Whoever would do something like this [is] obviously a dangerous person. We need to get them in custody.”

The worker is reportedly in stable condition, per KHOU.

Police said the two women fled the salon. They have not yet been found.

Katy is just west of Houston.
