Police fire bean bag gun at stolen vehicle during standoff in SE Houston

Houston police commanded the man to get out of the vehicle, but the man refused. Police eventually decided to use a bean bag gun to break the window in an effort to see inside the vehicle.

The man stepped out of the car when he heard the bean bag hit the window, and he was taken to a hospital with unknown injuries. It’s unclear what charges he might face.

During the standoff, a police canine “made contact” with an officer but didn’t break the skin, police said.

The dog bit near where the officer keeps a large knife in his pocket. The officer was treated on the scene and did not need to be taken to a hospital.
