Overview
- Police responded to reports of shots in the 6300 block of North Wayside Drive and encountered a man firing an automatic long gun at moving vehicles, police said Friday.
- Three Houston Police officers and one Texas Department of Public Safety trooper fired at the suspect after officers ordered him to drop the weapon, and the suspect was struck multiple times and taken to a hospital for treatment.
- Three people in moving vehicles, including a mother and her daughter, were wounded by the gunman and are in stable condition, officials said.
- Houston Police said officers gave verbal commands before firing and that body-worn camera footage from the involved city officers will be made public within 30 days.
- The Texas Rangers are conducting an independent review as part of the probe, a routine practice in serious officer-involved shootings that will determine whether department use-of-force policies were followed.
