KATY, Texas (AP) - Two drug store robbery suspects have been killed and two others arrested after investigators say officers returned fire during a surveillance operation in the Houston area.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez says the four men were believed responsible for at least a dozen robberies in the past two weeks. Members of a gang force Tuesday night watched three men enter a Walgreens in the Cinco Ranch community and allegedly steal cash.
The trio and a driver sped off, stopped and then the suspects shot at pursuing officers - who returned fire.
One suspect died at the scene. Another was pronounced dead at a hospital. Details weren’t immediately released on the two other suspects facing charges.
One Texas Department of Public Safety trooper suffered minor injuries from flying glass.
