A SWAT standoff ended with the arrest of a woman who was accused of causing a disturbance amongst her family and deputies opening fire in northwest Harris County, according to ABC13 Houston.
Major E.B. Dean of the Harris County Sheriff’s Office said the standoff happened Saturday at 8:30 p.m. in the 22700 block of Dana Drive near Alice Road.
Deputies received a family disturbance call involving a weapon and found the suspect, a 31-year-old woman, had reportedly brandished a gun at her stepfather and her mother.
Harris County Sheriff’s Office said as deputies attempted to calm the woman down, she allegedly pointed the weapon towards them.
In response, CrimesChroniclers learnt that the deputies fired their guns several times at the suspect.
Neither the suspect nor the deputies were injured.
Officials activated the SWAT team to negotiate, and they were successfully able to get the woman to surrender peacefully.
