Appears to be in a more rural area, hopefully they are caught quickly.

 

Several K-9 units and air patrols on the scene now.

Started as a traffic stop.

 

Police still searching.

Dear God.

[UKMustangFan]

Horrible.

 

Some scary stuff going on in the world right now.

[Clyde]

Police seem to be focused on a particular area. Checking houses. Helicopters flying low. Officers on foot.

 

3 armed men on the loose.

They reported earlier that responding officers heard gun shots as they arrived.

As they arrived where?

[Jumper_Dad]

If caught is there any way we can give Texas jurisdiction over this crime?

As they arrived where?

To back up the officer after he called and said he was in foot pursuit...that's how I understood it.

Said the one school has 2100 students and that it was going to take a while to get them all out of there this afternoon.

Tell me, What is a cop supposed to do any more? I would suspect that the procedure manuals are being re-written right now. I also think all these shootings will serve to redefine what is " reasonable" (in a lawsuit sense) in terms of cop reaction.

This is a bad day to be "suspicious." Police just got a call about a suspicious vehicle that has been sitting in front of a house for 20 minutes. Police on their way.
