Texas — Two people are dead, and four others, including three officers, were injured in a shooting incident in a neighborhood in Haltom City on Saturday night, police said.
There was a large police presence near the 5700 block of Diamond Oaks Drive North as authorities searched for an armed suspect. Police had asked residents in the area of Glenview Drive and Denton Highway to stay indoors during the search. Police said they were called to a home in the area at around 6:45 p.m. in regards to a shooting.
Police initially said there was one civilian dead and one other injured at the scene. In an update at 10 p.m., police said another victim was found dead at the home. According to police, one of the deceased victims, a man, was found in the driveway, while the other, a woman, was found dead inside the home.
The person who called 911, an elderly neighbor, was shot at by the suspect. She was hospitalized and is expected to be okay after being struck in the leg, according to police. Police said officers responded to the scene and that the suspect began firing at them. There was an exchange of gunfire between officers and the suspected gunman.
Three officers were shot and transported to area hospitals with non-life-threatening injuries, police said. After searching the area, police said authorities eventually found the suspect, later identified as Edward Freyman, 28, dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the 3900 block of Golden Oaks Drive, less than a mile from the initial scene. On Sunday, police released surveillance video from a nearby home of the officers being shot at by the suspect.
