From Bellaire Police:

The Bellaire Police Department is working a scene at the 4800 block of Tamarisk with an armed suspect.  At this time, we ask residents remain in their home until subject can be taken into custody.

UPDATE from the City of Bellaire at 11:30 am:

At 8:30 AM this morning a Bellaire patrol officer attempted to stop a suspect for a traffic violation. Suspect fired two shots at the patrol car striking the windshield, but not injuring the officer.

Suspect then fled and abandoned his vehicle in the area of Fournace and the service road of 610. Suspect fired at least one more shot at officers.

Suspect found himself surrounded by officers so he sought refuge on the front porch of a house in the 4800 block of Tamarisk St. holding a pistol to his head.

Officers spoke to suspect over the PA system from patrol car. HPD SWAT and Hostage Negotiation team arrived. Suspect continues to refuse to put the pistol down and surrender. Negotiations continue.

HPD SWAT has taken the suspect into custody with no injury or incidents. There will continue to be a heavy police presence in the immediate area as the investigation continues. Residents may leave their homes at this time. The 4800 block of Tamarisk and the Fournace from the service road to S. Rice Ave are still blocked off. Please be aware of possible delays.
