The officers are in stable condition at a local hospital and ‘doing well,’ Cedar Park Interim Chief of Police Mike Harmon said in a press release Sunday night.
The call came from a woman who said her son “had walked in the door and acted very aggressively,” Harmon said.
When officers entered the house, “they were shot with guns,” he said. “Our officers returned gunfire,” although it is not known if the suspect was hit.
The man found himself locked in a house with three other family members, Harmon said.
Police have been in contact with the suspect and others in the home, Harmon said.
“It is our goal to bring this to a peaceful resolution, as everyone knows,” the interim chief said. “We do not want to see anyone else hurt.”
In the case the defendant listened to the briefing, Harmon insisted the officers were “good” and “have no life-threatening injuries.”
“Please come out and give yourself peace so we can resolve this situation tonight,” he said.
Cedar Park is a suburb of Austin.
