I bet you already know the legal status of the suspect who shot two Harris County deputies in Southeast Texas last night.
Two Harris County Sheriff's Office deputies were shot and a suspect was killed Tuesday night in northwest Harris County, according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
According to officials, HCSO deputies responded to the scene after receiving reports of shots being fired inside a home.
HCSO Chief Deputy Edison Toquica said a family member, possibly the suspect's brother, called 911.
When deputies arrived, authorities said, the suspect shot at the deputies, and the deputies returned fire. The deputies and suspect were struck. The suspect was declared dead at the scene.
Toquica said one officer was struck in the right leg and the other was hit in the leg and also suffered graze wounds to the head and ear. They were both reportedly stable at the hospital.
Toquica said the suspect was 43 and possibly was going through a mental episode.
He said the suspect was out on a PR bond for aggravated assault of a family member that happened in 2020.
The suspect's identity has not been released.
