Officer-involved shooting in north Houston after warehouse alarm goes off
HOUSTON - A Houston police officer shot at a suspect in north Houston on Friday.
HPD says the female officer, who volunteered to work Christmas Day, responded to a business alarm call at a warehouse in the 3100 block of Farrell Rd, near Aldine Westfield.
When the officer arrived, she noticed the business had been broken into.
Outside the building, she found a suspicious vehicle. After doing a search for the plates, the officer discovered the vehicle was reported stolen out of Harris County.
That's when the officer checked a nearby dumpster and found the suspect hiding inside. Police say the officer then demanded the suspect to show his hands, but he refused.
