Houston, TX – Two men are in critical condition following a deputy-involved shooting Thursday in the 11000 block of TangleHead Court, near Antoine Drive and North Sam Houston Parkway. The incident unfolded during what authorities say was a child custody dispute.
According to the Harris County Sheriff’s Office, Precinct 4 deputies were on scene when a male reportedly exited a home and shot another male outside. A deputy allegedly returned fire, striking the shooter. Both men collapsed, and CPR was initiated at the scene before they were transported to a hospital.
Authorities said no deputies were injured during the exchange. All suspects have been accounted for, and investigators report there is no ongoing threat to the community.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez confirmed that HCSO detectives will lead the investigation. Officials have not released the names of those involved, and the circumstances leading to the shooting remain under review.
Law enforcement sources say deputy-involved shootings are investigated under strict protocols, with both body camera footage and witness statements expected to play a role in determining whether the deputy’s actions were justified. In this case, the chain of events began with what appears to be a domestic-related dispute, a type of call that can escalate rapidly and unpredictably.
The incident has drawn significant attention from nearby residents, who reported hearing multiple gunshots. Investigators remained at the scene for several hours collecting evidence.
Authorities have not provided updates on the men’s conditions beyond stating both remain in critical condition. The sheriff’s office has urged anyone with additional information about the events leading up to the shooting to contact their tip line.
