HUMBLE — A Harris County Precinct 4 deputy was shot during a gunfight with a suspect at an apartment complex in Humble on Friday evening. The injured deputy was transported to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries that require a lengthy recovery.

The incident occurred shortly after 10 p.m. Dispatchers received multiple calls reporting a man carrying and firing a shotgun at the 15951 Woodland Hills apartment complex. No other residents or bystanders were reported injured.

Law enforcement officers used a SWAT response to breach the barricaded apartment door after the suspect retreated inside.
