Narcotics warrant being served when the ones in the building started shooting. 2 suspects dead, 5 officers shot. Live footage on my TV right now and SWAT is out there (maybe in case there's more inside, maybe just a precaution).

For those of you who may be somewhat familiar with the area, this is over near Milby HS.
ETA: 8 miles up Hwy 3 from me

3 life flights, but they think at least one was because of the traffic. Ambulances are taking too much time... 10 miles, well over half hour....

Yeah, the location is near a major freeway interchange and it's a nightmare to get to the Medical Center at rush hour. Surface streets to TMC from there aren't any better (driven that route numerous times). They tend to use air transport in this scenario anyway.
ABC local just said SWAT there because there's evidently a 3rd suspect inside or in the area.

Watching from Ks. Please keep us updated. This has to stop. It’s been 12 yrs since our oldest was shot on duty. We are grateful to God that he recovered and was back on duty after 9 months of recovery. Praying for HPD! |

All officers transported to Memorial Hermann - none sent to Ben Taub. That's actually a good thing because "The Tub" is the level 1 trauma center that you WANT to be taken to if you have life-threatening injuries (and it's where they usually take fallen LEOs).
Still saying a third suspect, possibly still barricaded in the home. Police Chief is en route from the scene to the hospital. I think I heard the mayor is on his way to the hospital as well. Nothing on the condition of any of the officers yet.
Definitely a narcotics warrant being executed. Some undercover involved (don't know if they are among the ones injured).

Asst Chief just told ABC reporter they want them to set up further away, trying to find media a safer location to back off to.

Just terrible.
I hope they all survive.
Three colleagues were en route from Hobby to downtown when this happened. They weren't close enough to be in danger, but did see loads of emergency vehicles heading to the scene. Scary.

Channel 11 just said they are sending a robot into the building to see if there are any other suspects inside.
ETA: They just said 3 officers in stable condition and 2 in critical condition. Praying for them and their families.

Mobile command center is now there and lights. Oh, and drones.
Chief giving press conference in about 10 minutes. All telling "no names on social media please" and requesting to not post any identifiable photos or videos (part so they can properly notify families, but more importantly to not compromise all these undercover guys involved).

1 of the 5 is or will be discharged soon (I think that one was shot in the arm, saw on a video - with his face blurred - him being assisted from the scene right after the shooting).
