HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Patrol cars, heavily-armored SWAT officers, and a tactical robot were spotted in an otherwise normal northwest Harris County neighborhood on Friday evening.
The activity was in connection with a reported shooting that happened at the Meadows of Northwest Park neighborhood in the 9700 block of Phil Halstead Drive, which is not too far from Antoine and the Tomball Parkway, Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said.
Preliminary info stated a male was found outside a residence with a gunshot wound, and another male barricaded himself inside the residence.
That prompted a SWAT response, Gonzalez tweeted.
In addition, a negotiator was captured by an crew crouching behind a car.
As the event unfolded, the sheriff’s office announced the person who was shot has died. He added there isn’t a threat to the community.
However, people living in the part of the neighborhood with the police activity were being kept away from their homes
Update to scene on Phil Halstead: the male discovered outside the residence has been pronounced deceased. The other male remains barricaded. The scene is contained to the residence, and there%u2019s no threat to the rest of the community. https://t.co/SbTmn3SMF5
