HARRIS COUNTY, Texas - A man barricaded himself and his wife in a home Wednesday night after shooting a sheriff's deputy and another man despite being handcuffed, CBS Houston affiliate KHOU-TV reports. The suspect was later found dead inside the home, authorities said.

The Harris County Sheriff's Office says deputies responding to a disturbance call encountered the suspect and handcuffed him.

Deputies say the suspect, while handcuffed, somehow pulled a handgun from his waistband and started firing. One deputy was hit in the lower forearm and was taken to a hospital.
