A person of interest in a possible homicide Tuesday at a southeast Houston apartment complex opened fire at police officers responding to the scene, according to Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo.

No injuries were reported.

Houston police initially responded to a shooting at 12:41 p.m. at the apartment in the 5900 block of Selinsky Road. Three minutes later, a suspect fired at the two responding officers, who were riding in an unmarked police car, Acevedo said.

The officers were not struck. They later made their way into the apartment and found a man dead from a gunshot wound, Acevedo said. The man who shot at officers was detained and has been named a person of interest in the death.

Investigators were questioning witnesses on the scene, Acevedo said.
