LAREDO, Texas – A deadly shootout occurred in Laredo between police and a wanted man. A murder suspect was killed and three police officers wounded in the exchange of gunfire at a convenience store, reported ABC 13.

The Laredo police spokesman, Detective Joe Baeza, said officers had been searching all day Friday for 55-year-old Antonio Geraldo Rodriguez. He was suspected in the fatal shooting of his 50-year-old girlfriend, Reyna Gonzalez Zamora, at her apartment.

Baeza said three officers located a vehicle matching the description of one driven by Rodriguez outside a convenience store about 5 p.m. Friday. When the officers approached Rodriguez, he opened fire. Officers returned fire, hitting the suspect, while three of them were struck as well.

Baeza says Rodriguez was pronounced dead at a local hospital a short time later. He said he did not have conditions for the wounded officers, who also were hospitalized.
