PLANO, Texas — Bullets were sprayed all over an east Plano intersection Wednesday during a shootout between a man and an off-duty officer outside a 7-Eleven, police say.
Around 4:30 p.m., Plano police officers responded to the convenience store in the 3600 block of 14th Street after a call of two men exchanging gunfire in the parking lot.
Police said an off-duty officer claimed he left a training class and stopped at the 7-Eleven, where he saw a man arguing with someone else in the store. The off-duty officer said he confronted him after seeing the man get a pistol out of his vehicle.
The off-duty officer then identified the man as "a credible threat to the safety of himself and others in the area," police said. Both men fired multiple rounds, police said.
Once officers arrived on scene, the man who wasn't the off-duty officer dropped his weapon after being told to by police and was taken into custody.
He was later identified as 33-year-old Steven Ray Jordan. Police said Jordan is being held in the Collin County Detention Center in McKinney on a charge of aggravated assault against a public servant.
Police said an officer recognized the off-duty officer and secured his weapon at the scene. The off-duty officer was not taken into custody. The Plano Police Department said he has been placed on administrative leave.
Another man at the scene was detained as a person of interest during the investigation but was later released, police said. The man continues to be a witness to the incident.
Police said no one was injured during the shooting and there is no threat to public.
The Plano Police Department said the investigation is ongoing by the Crimes Against Persons Unit and the Professional Standards Unit.
