KILLEEN, Texas — Officers were dispatched to a residence in the 2000 block of Cedarhill Drive in reference to a burglary call last Sunday. Upon the officers’ arrival, they were told that the suspects had fled westbound.

One officer observed the suspects in the area and as he got closer to them, they began to evade, when one of the suspects began to shoot in the direction of the officer; the officer was not able to return fire due to cross traffic on Westcliff. The suspect’s gunfire struck two citizen’s vehicles and a building.

Additional officers saturated the area and were able to apprehend the suspects, including the shooter and the gun. The Criminal Investigation Division Burglary and Violent Crime Unit detectives arrived to process the scenes.

No injuries reported.
