HOUSTON -- One suspect is dead and two remain at large after two police officers were injured responding to reports of a burglary in progress in southwest Houston.

CBS affiliate KHOU-TV reports that Houston Police Department officers were injured in an “officer involved shooting” early Tuesday afternoon. Both officers were transported to local hospitals.

Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner told reporters Tuesday afternoon that one officer was shot multiple times and remains in critical condition. The second officer was injured in the foot and his injuries are not life threatening.

Houston police chief Art Acevedo identified the officers as Ronnie Cortez and Jose Munoz, according to KHOU-TV’s Stephanie Whitfield. Cortez is a 24-year veteran of the force, while Munoz has served for 10 years.

Turner said one suspect was dead and two remained at large, according to KHOU-TV reporter Drew Karedes:

Earlier, Karedes reported police were telling residents to take cover due to an “active shooter scene”:

Members of the Houston Police Department and SWAT team units had surrounded a house in southwest Houston with guns drawn, KHOU-TV reports.

The neighborhood remains on lockdown as police search the area for the two remaining suspects.


Lets take a guess, either some BLM'ers trying to acquire some reparation early, or some anti Trump "Latino Dreamer's" that heard "Jorge" say it was their country. So, that was their house.

Pray for the officers speedy recovery !! And hope that the two perps jump in front of a speeding train !
