HOUSTON, TX – A home invasion early Tuesday morning ended with one suspect fatally shot and another taken into custody following a high-speed police chase.
According to Houston Police Department, the incident began just before 1 a.m. at a residence near Ella Boulevard and West Gulf Bank Road. A woman called 911 and hid in a closet after her boyfriend told her to do so when she reported a break-in attempt.
