An hours-long standoff ended Thursday evening when Houston police took into custody a man suspected of shooting three officers, officials tweeted.

The suspect, who police have not identified, came out at 7:45 p.m. CT with his hands raised and surrendered, Houston Police Department Chief Troy Finner said. The man had a neck wound that likely would require surgery, the chief added.

The three officers were in stable condition at a hospital, Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said. They are in good spirits and talkative, he added.

The suspect barricaded in a home for hours after fleeing the shooting scene in a Mercedes he carjacked. Police officers pursued him to the residence, which was about 5 miles away.
