The gun that was used in Thursday’s shootout with police appears to have been illegally modified to operate as an automatic weapon: a machine gun.

PREVIOUS COVERAGE:On Houston's East Side, the intense shootout between Houston Police, that left three officers injured, and accused shooter Roland Caballero, rivaled a movie scene. Investigators say each involved the same kind of illegal machine pistol.

"You pull the trigger once, and you just start spraying with bullets," says Taylor, "It's not that he was that good a shot, he just put up a wall of bullets coming at somebody, and you're going to hit people when you do that." Exclusive video shows the gunfight between a suspect and Houston police officers on a street just south of downtown. At least one gunman is seen running from the scene as officers give chase. Three officers were injured in this exchange.
