A man is dead after an officer-involved shooting Wednesday morning in north Harris County on Luthe Road, just east of the Hardy Toll Road.

Members of the U.S. Marshals Violent Offenders Task Force were serving a warrant when the suspect exited the house with a shotgun and began firing on officers. According to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, an HPD officer then fired and killed the suspect.

Gonzalez also said that the suspect had a lengthy criminal history and may have been out on bond for another felony case. The name of the suspect has not yet been released.
