Authorities say a police chase in Houston ended with a shootout that wounded three officers.
The incident happened about 2:40 p.m. Thursday, January 27 when a car that police were pursuing crashed at an intersection just off Interstate 69 on the southeastern edge of downtown Houston.A surveillance video released by Mark Herman, the Harris County Constable for Precinct 4, showed officers jumping from a patrol car and exchanging what sounded like gunfire.
Witness Stephen Hinson“All of a sudden, I heard popping noises and I didn’t think it was gunshots, but then all of a sudden it started getting closer and it sounded like about 50 rounds went off,” Hinson said. “I looked out my window and I saw the officers running and I realized there was an officer down right in front of my townhome.”“Everything happened so quickly, and this area was swarmed by police officers pretty quickly,” Hinson said.
