No HPD officers were injured nor discharged their weapons in this incident. HPD Homicide Division Sergeant J. Wilson and Officer M. Coleman reported: The two suspects were driving in a stolen vehicle taken in a carjacking. As Houston police officers attempted to pull over the vehicle on a traffic stop, the suspects evaded them and refused to stop. As the suspects fled, they shot at officers who were in pursuit. After several miles, the suspects crashed the vehicle in a ditch at 5500 Gasmer. Both males were then taken into custody without further incident. Two weapons were recovered from the suspects. The investigation is continuing. JFC/VHS 5-21-10 For additional information, please contact the HPD Public Affairs Division at 713-308-3200. |
