Overview
- Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched at about 1:37 p.m. Wednesday to the 15600 block of Morning Dove Drive in Humble where a deputy discharged a weapon and struck an adult man.
- The injured man was taken to a hospital and his condition has not been released while no deputies were reported injured.
- Sheriff Ed Gonzalez announced the shooting on social media and said investigators are processing the scene but provided few public details.
- Earlier incidents in June prompted internal and district attorney reviews in Harris County so investigators are expected to use search warrants, ballistics testing and witness interviews in this probe.
- The case adds to heightened local scrutiny of officer use of force and the community should watch for updates on the victim's condition and any charging or departmental review outcomes.
