Teen Arrested After Firing at Harris County Deputies

Investigators are reviewing the scene after officials say a teen fired multiple shots during a weapons-related family disturbance.

Overview

  • Harris County deputies responded to a weapons-related family disturbance at an apartment complex near 14906 Westpark Drive and were fired on by a teen Wednesday evening.
  • Officials say the suspect, described as possibly 17 years old, fired at least two shots at deputies after being reported armed with a knife and vandalizing his mother’s car.
  • No deputies were reported injured and the suspect was quickly taken into custody at the scene.
  • Authorities have not released the suspect’s name or formal charges as the Harris County Sheriff’s Office continues its investigation.
  • Because the case involves a juvenile, prosecutors may handle charging and public disclosure differently and the probe will determine what charges, if any, are filed.
