HOUSTON -- A Precinct 4 deputy constable is stable after a shooting on Sunday when he suffered multiple gunshot wounds, officials said.
The precinct's official Twitter account said on Sunday evening that the deputy constable is being treated for non-life threatening injuries.
He was using a taser while attempting to arrest a suspect as he responded to a call reporting a home disturbance just before 6 p.m. Sunday, Constable Mark Herman said.
The suspect, identified as Constantine Argyriou, then opened fire, he said.
Argyriou, 38 years old, faces charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, a first-degree felony, for the alleged attack, Herman said. He was taken into custody just before 7 p.m.
The deputy was transported via LifeFlight to Memorial Hermann, Herman said.
Multiple emergency vehicles blocked off the street, the 9000 block of Walnut Glen Drive in Northwest Harris County, on Sunday night.
"Please keep our brother in your prayers," the precinct's official Twitter account posted.
