A Texas couple is dead after engaging in a deadly shoot out with police attempting to serve a warrant.
KHOU 11 reports that a neighbor’s tip about drug activity led police to that house inhabited by Dennis Tuttle and his wife, Rhogena Nicholas. After arriving at the premises to serve a warrant for black tar heroin, gunfire broke out.
Four Houston police officers were shot Monday afternoon while serving a narcotics warrant in southeast Houston.
Two of those officers are in critical condition and were undergoing surgery Monday night at Memorial Hermann Hospital. Chief Acevedo said both of the critically injured were shot in the neck.
Two suspects, a male and a female, are dead inside the house where the officers were serving a warrant for black tar heroin when gunfire broke out.
HPD and Harris County Sheriff’s Office SWAT teams sent robots in the house to make sure there were no other suspects before allowing nearby residents back into their homes.
Neighbors were reportedly surprised the duo engaged in the shoot out but were aware of the drug activity taking place.
