Two law enforcement officers in Reno, Texas, were shot and a third was nearly wounded when a suspect accused of threatening others opened fire on them in Texas and barricaded himself in a home, officials said.
Officers were responding to a home in Parker County, about 22 miles (35 kilometers) northwest of Fort Worth, on Thursday night after a caller said her son had a gun and was making threats, Reno Police Chief Tony Simmons said in an emailed statement.
The gunman opened fire as police arrived on scene, according to local Fox affiliate KDFW.

A Reno officer was shot in the arm and a Parker County deputy was also wounded, Simmons said. The officer’s injuries were not considered life-threatening, but the extent of the deputy’s injuries were unknown. The deputy was flown to a hospital in Fort Worth for treatment.
A bullet struck a second Reno officer’s stun gun holster, preventing him from being wounded, Simmons said.
The gunbattle ended when a fire erupted inside the house, the outlet reported. A woman who came from inside the home said the man, who was her son, had shot another woman inside, according to KDFW.
