were also called to assist. The unidentified man, only described by officials as a 23-year-old Hispanic, "was in fact armed with what appeared to be a shotgun." Investigators also said the man "was known to law enforcement and had a history of mental illness." As a result, a mental health deputy with Montgomery Co. Constable Pct. 1 came out to help in deescalating the situation.
Around 8:15 p.m. officials said communication was established to talk the man into surrendering peacefully. However, he reportedly emerged from the room with the weapon in hand, and the barrel of the shotgun raised toward officers. That's when authorities fired their weapons, hitting the man several times. The weapon was secured and officials said in a press release "the officers immediately rendered life-saving aid until EMS personnel could arrive.
The man was then rushed to Memorial Herman in The Woodlands, where at last check, was in stable condition.
