An officer has been hospitalized this morning following a traffic stop that led to a chase through the cities of Houston and South Houston.
The chase ended when the suspect pulled into a driveway. As officers approached the vehicle, one of them noticed the suspect was armed with a shotgun.
That officer reportedly alerted fellow officers to the weapon just before he was shot in the head. His fellow officers then returned fire, reportedly killing the suspect.
The officer who was shot was reportedly quickly taken to a nearby hospital. He is in stable condition, but remains in the ICU.
This is a breaking story, and we will provide updates as they become available.
