Houston – Man with AK-47-style weapon struck during shootout with HPD officers.
The shootout happened just before 1 a.m. in the middle of the street in the 4700 block Bingle Road at Acorn Street, not far from US-290, police said.
Video from the scene showed the suspect’s truck and a Houston police cruiser riddled with bullet holes in the windshield.
“He will obviously face attempted capital murder of a police officer charges,” Asst. Chief Wyatt Martin said. “It was very clear from where he was shooting, he was attempting to strike these officers.
He has an ankle monitor on, and potentially could have other charges.”
As for the officers who fired their weapons, HPD said they are both men in their late 20s who have been with the department for three and four years.
