HUMBLE, Texas (KTRK) -- A day after a man accused of wounding four law enforcement officers made a dramatic exit from an hourslong SWAT standoff, the neighborhood where it all went down is still reeling in disbelief.
Terran Green, 34, was the subject of an intense search earlier this week after authorities said he shot Harris County sheriff's deputy, Joseph Anderson, multiple times during a traffic stop on Wednesday night.
When law enforcement came to a northeast Harris County neighborhood Thursday night, they had a good idea that Green was inside a specific home. As they approached, gunfire rang out.
Two officers were hit with gunfire, and one with shrapnel.
Craig Brown's Ring doorbell camera captured the moment. He and his wife ducked for cover.
"When me and the wife was standing on the driveway and they started shooting, all they told me was to go back in the house. That was it," Brown, one of many neighbors who recounted the harrowing hours, said on Friday.
"Like a big boom," Sharon Haywood, who lives on one side of the suspect's home, added. "But it was so scary that you didn't have time to think about what it was."
"They made us get tight to the wall and get across the street as quickly as possible," Davette Bryant, the neighbor who lives on the other side, said. "I didn't want to get shot. That was it. The shootout broke out right as we were leaving. That was my main concern. Didn't want to get shot."
Another woman said she couldn't even get into the neighborhood as the standoff happened. Her teen daughter was home alone at the time.
"That's pretty dangerous. I'm trying to get home to my kid. She's home alone, so it's not safe right now," neighbor Diana Gallegos said.
Bryant went on to say that he'd seen the suspect once before a couple of weeks ago, when he was working on his car. Bryant said that he asked Green if he needed help, but that was the extent of their interaction.
On Friday afternoon, Latonya Jenkins, the woman listed in public records as renting the house, returned to the scene. Her adult son and several friends were with her. Jenkins confirmed her identity to ABC13 but wouldn't explain her relationship with Green.
The man who owns the house also showed up in the neighborhood. He didn't want his name used but was still trying to come to grips with his rental property now torn apart.
The Harris County Sheriffs Office told ABC13 that the homeowners insurance company should file a claim with Harris County's risk management department to seek reimbursement for the damage.
