HOUSTON — Newly-released body camera footage shows a suspect ambush a Houston officer and shoot him several times, FOX26 reported.
The incident occurred Dec. 2 when officers on the Houston Police Department’s crime suppression team spotted a burglary and assault suspect, according to the report.
Seargeant M. Valle drove through a darkened street looking for the suspect as he and another person began to case businesses for burglaries. Surveillance footage from a business shows the suspect ducking behind a truck and palettes, out of sight to Valle.
As Valle drives closer to the suspect, the suspect runs toward the passenger side of the vehicle, raises a handgun, and fires multiple shots at Valle.
