HOUSTON POLICE ARREST TWO ARMED SUSPECTS ON UST CAMPUS
The two suspects fled after crashing a stolen vehicle on Yoakum
The UST Emergency Alert System notified students, faculty and staff on Oct. 22 at 12:07 p.m. that two potentially armed men had crashed a stolen vehicle into a parked car on Yoakum Blvd. around 11:20 a.m.
The alert stated, “possibly two armed suspects near campus. Two Hispanic males seen running westbound from W.Alabama & Yoakum. Authorities searching the area. Call 911 if sighted.”
There was apparently one student witness. There are no reported injuries.
According to Rucks Russell, a reporter with KHOU11, both men were arrested before approximately 12:30 p.m. The suspects were both carrying semi-automatic weapons. At least one was a 40-caliber pistol. He witnessed the men in handcuffs after police, near the corner of Yoakum and Colquitt, had arrested them.
“They were hollering ‘Latin Kings run this town, b****,’” Russell said, as they were loaded into the Houston Police squad vehicle.
Apparently there was a brief scuffle between one suspect and a police officer in the process, according to Russell.
We will update with more information as it is received.
