HOUSTON (AP) – Authorities say a police chase in Houston ended with a shootout that wounded three officers. The incident happened about 2:40 p.m. Thursday 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 aired by KTRK-TV showed officers jumping from a patrol car and exchanging what sounded like gunfire.
Police said in a statement that a suspect fled in a white Mercedes and the three wounded officers were taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital. Police later tweeted that all three officers were in stable condition. No other details were immediately available.
