Apparently there were multiple shooters, one of which was killed. If 5 officers were shot, assuming not all officers were shot, then this must have been a fairly big police raid. The reports are not very specific.

How many shooters were involved.
How many officers were involved.
We don't know.

And, it sounds like SWAT is trying to negotiate with someone(s) inside the house.

Five Houston police officers shot; 2 of 3 suspects dead

"I've just learned one officer was shot in the leg, one in the shoulder and one in the face," KHOU 11 News reporter Brett Buffington tweeted.

Two suspects are dead inside the house where officers were serving a warrant when gunfire broke out.  Police are using a robot to search for the third suspect.

HPD and Harris County Sheriff's Office SWAT teams are still on the scene.

The shooting happened just before 4 p.m. in a residential neighborhood in the 7800 block of Harding. That's just a few blocks from Milby High School.

One neighbor said she heard about 15 shots.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Two suspects were killed in an exchange of gunfire, but Houston police have not released information on their identities.

According to HPD Chief Art Acevedo, the suspects are believed to have been trafficking black tar heroin.
