Houston PD investigating reported involving officer from different agency, jurisdiction
Details are limited, but initial reports are a Hitchcock PD officer was pursuing a chase that ended in the southeast Houston area of Hobby Airport. It all started, however, when officers were trying to arrest an unidentified suspect after serving a warrant for the sexual assault of a child.
The suspect then jumped into a truck, according to reports, and led officers on a brief chase that concluded in the 8400 block of Mosley Rd. Shortly after the chase ended, the suspect pulled out a weapon from the truck and pointed it at law enforcement officials, telling them, "I'm not going back." That's when two officers reportedly shot the suspect.
Per protocol, the officers are being placed on administrative leave, but an internal investigation is underway as well as a separate investigation with the Houston PD, since it happened outside Hitchock PD's jurisdiction. FOX 26 will continue to make updates to this story as more information becomes available.
