ALVIN, Texas — Dozens of police officers and tactical team members converged on an Alvin apartment complex Thursday after a barricaded person was reported there.
The suspect has since surrendered peacefully, according to police.
It happened in the 400 block of West Dumble Street near West Coombs Street.
A man walked into the Alvin Police Department lobby just before 9 a.m. with a gunshot wound, according to a statement from Alvin police.
The man was taken to a nearby hospital, but there was no word on their condition.
It wasn't clear how the barricaded suspect, who was later identified by police as 32-year-old Jaime Cantu, was related to the shooting victim.
A nearby shopping center parking lot was taped off as dozens of police cruisers were parked and a mobile command post was set up.
A worker who answered the phone at a nearby business told KHOU 11 News that police officers began rushing into the parking lot, but nobody had told them why there was a massive presence of officers or why the parking lot was blocked off.
Several streets in the area were also closed as the incident continued.
According to police, Cantu has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
