One suspect has been taken into custody, but Trevino has not yet been detained.
HCSO Chief Deputy Edison Toquica confirmed that one officer is reported to be in surgery. He added that one officer was shot in the hand, another shot in the leg, and a third shot in the face, torso, and ankle.
All three officers were transported to Ben Taub Hospital, a level 1 trauma hospital in Houston.
He also confirmed that Trevino is barricaded within the home and the scene is considered active. He said the felony arrest warrant was a violation of a protective order, which was originally issued over aggravated assault and family violence.
