It happened just before 3 a.m. when the Houston Police Department got a call at an apartment on Greens Road near Imperial Valley in the Greenspoint area. Two of the responding officers met with one of the family members, described by investigators as an armed man.
At some point during their encounter, the two officers fired their weapons at the armed man but it’s unclear if the man fired at them. The gunman was hit several times in the torso, police said, and was rushed to the hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
