Houston Police Department officers were dispatched to a suspicious person with a weapon. Officers were given a description of the suspect and notified that he had possibly discharged a handgun. Upon arrival, officers saw the suspect sitting outside with what appeared to a be bullet proof vest and gun belt. Officers contacted the suspect, and he retreated into the garage, unholstered his weapon, and pointed it in the direction of officers. An officer discharged his weapon striking the suspect who then ran into the residence while discharging his weapon at officers. The suspect’s mother was able to place the weapon on the front porch and left the door open for officers to take the suspect into custody.
