Harris County Sheriff's Deputies investigating an abandoned car on Flemington Avenue and Langham in Northwest Harris County around 11 Friday morning heard gun shots coming from inside a residence.
Officials established a perimeter as additional shots were fired by the suspect but were directed towards the officers outside.
When the suspect emerged from the house with two shotguns and began shooting deputies opened fire. The suspect died at the scene.
Police say they were familiar with the location, having responded to previous calls for domestic disturbance.
Suspicions of possible booby-traps in the house were proven to not be true.
