Houston Police were in Waller County following an officer-involved shooting Tuesday afternoon.
Police say they were in Prairie View attempting to arrest a suspect wanted in Houston on charges including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, deadly conduct, theft and unlawful carrying of a weapon. The suspect was also linked to a murder.
When officers approached the suspect in a vehicle outside a restaurant on Business 290, the suspect and another man opened fire on the officers.
Houston police say their officers returned fire, striking both men, and then rendered medical aid to them both.
Both suspects were rushed to a Houston hospital, where they are receiving treatment.
Two HPD patrol vehicles were struck, but no officers were injured in the shootout.
