HURST, Texas — A man was killed after firing at officers at the end of an hours-long standoff at a home in Hurst on Tuesday morning, police said.
The incident happened at a home in the 600 block near West Pipeline Road and Hurstview Drive in Tarrant County.
Officers had responded about 2 a.m. to a report of shots fired. When police arrived, they heard more shots from inside the home.
SWAT officers responded and tried to bring the situation to an end. But the suspect remained barricaded inside the home and continued firing "dozens of rounds," some of them leaving the home, police said in a news release.
After "lengthy attempts" to negotiate with him, police deployed tear gas into the home, but the suspect stayed inside and continued firing shots.
Shortly after 8:30 a.m., the suspect left the side of the home and fired a weapon at SWAT officers, police said.
Multiple officers returned fire "and the suspect fell to the ground," police said.
Paramedics rendered aid, but the man died at the scene.
No residents or police were injured during the incident.
The name of the suspect has not been released yet. Police were still investigating the shooting later Tuesday, and the Texas Rangers had been called to investigate the officer-involved shooting
