Deputies shoot man accused of opening fire on 4 Brazoria County sheriff's deputies in Manvel

BRAZORIA COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Four deputies shot a man at a home in Brazoria County on Sunday night, according to authorities.

The shooting happened around 9 p.m. at 217 Oak Crest Drive in Manvel, the Brazoria County Sheriff's Office said.

Officials said it started with a call about a man and a woman fighting over a gun. When deputies arrived, the man reportedly still had the firearm.

Deputies ordered the man to put the gun down, but he refused, the sheriff's office said.

Deputies first used a Taser on the man, but then he opened fire, officials said.

"All four deputies did return fire, striking the subject multiple times. The subject was flown to a Houston-area hospital," Chief Deputy Ian Patin said.

At last check, the suspect's condition was unknown.

The four deputies involved were placed on administrative leave while the Texas Rangers investigate.
