Three Houston police officers are hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries, following a shooting Thursday afternoon.

The suspect fled the scene in a Mercedes he carjacked, the Houston Police Department said, and was later taken into custody after he barricaded himself inside a home. The department said the suspect "fired multiple shots at SWAT officers," but none were hit. The suspect sustained a gunshot wound to the neck and will undergo surgery, CBS News reports.
