(Reuters) – Two Houston police officers were shot on Tuesday and a suspect suffered a gunshot wound before being apprehended, a spokeswoman for the city’s police department said.
Jodi Silva said the two officers were transported to the Memorial Hermann Hospital. She did not provide any details on their condition.
A suspect was also taken to a hospital for treatment, Silva said, adding that Police Chief Art Acevedo would brief the media at 12:30 p.m. CDT.
The Houston Police Department had dispatched a SWAT team to deal with a “possible barricaded suspect”, according to an earlier tweet by the department.
