Officials say a standoff in northwest Harris County involving a father accused of injuring a toddler to death ended with the man being taken in handcuffs.
Details are limited, as it's an active scene, but according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, deputies were called around 10:15 a.m. to W. FM 1960. From there, a brief chase ensued but came to a stop at Stuebner Airline and Veterans Memorial.
Preliminary information from the Sheriff is an unidentified man "seriously injured" a toddler, believed to be about 2-years-old, and was arrested at the scene. The child was given CPR at the scene due to how severe her injuries were before she was airlifted to a hospital via LifeFlight. It's believed, according to Sheriff Gonzalez, the man is her biological father, believed to be in his early 20s.
Several law enforcement agencies, including the Houston PD and the Texas DPS, assisted in the incident, but an investigation remains underway.
