Houston police said two robbery suspects are in custody after firing shots at undercover officers.

According to a later release from the department, the two men held up a store in the 10900 block of Cullen on Tuesday afternoon. They announced a robbery around 3 p.m., the department said, before leaving the store in a vehicle.

They were seen leaving by the undercover officers in a nearby vehicle, who then began following the suspects.

Soon after, the suspects reportedly abandoned their vehicle along Airport Boulevard and continued to flee on foot. After being located in a backyard by a police helicopter and assistance from K-9 officers, the suspects were taken into custody.

Authorities said no injuries were reported, and none of the shots struck the officers' vehicle.
