Houston Police Release Video of Shootout That Wounded Officer, Killed Suspect

On Nov 11, a 19-year-old suspect was shot and died as a result of the shooting on a local freeway. Five-year veteran Houston police officer, J. Gibson was shot by the suspect before he was fatally shot by other responding officers.

The incident occurred after Gibson attempted to stop the man, who was driving a stolen vehicle. As Gibson gave verbal commands to the suspect, still inside the stolen car, the suspect discharged a firearm at him.

After Gibson was struck by a bullet, a citizen and another officer pulled him to cover.  Police say the officer was hit in the leg. The other officers at the scene provided medical assistance to Gibson, Fox 26 reports.

Other uniformed officers attempted to give the man verbal commands to drop his weapon, but the man did not listen and was shot and wounded.

Despite officers' warnings, the man reloaded his gun, prompting officers to shoot at the man again, striking him multiple times.
