A 34-year-old veteran officer with the Houston Police Department was driving in his personal car
Thursday at 11:30 p.m. when he noticed a vehicle tailing his, according to local news station KHOU.
The officer, who was off duty and whom the department has not named, turned to let the car behind him pass,
but it stopped instead. A male teen got out with a gun in his hand. Three other male teens were in the car,
and police believe they were attempting to rob and carjack the cop. The officer stepped out of his car,
identified himself “At that point in time, a rear passenger got out and began running toward the sergeant;
as he went under [the] street light he had (his) arm extended and was shooting (the) pistol directly at the sergeant,”
Houston police spokesman Kese Smith told KHOU.
The officer fired back, shooting a 15-year-old male twice.
The group of teens managed to get back into the car and fled the scene,
but were found a short distance away, ten minutes later and apprehended by Houston police.
