On May 12, 2017, at about 8:58 am, Dallas officers from the Crime Response Team responded to the 8300 block of Reva Street after receiving information from undercover officers that a wanted female was at the location.  When the uniformed officers arrived, they observed the female they believed to be wanted sitting in the front passenger seat of a vehicle with a male sitting in the front driver seat and another male sitting in the back seat.  While officers were attempting to identify the female passenger, the male passenger sitting in the rear seat exited the vehicle after being told repeatedly by officers to remain seated.  The male suspect then engaged in a physical confrontation with the officers.  The suspect was able to gain control of one of the officer’s taser causing an officer to draw their firearm and shoot the suspect.  The suspect was transported to an area hospital where he is listed in stable condition.  There were no officers injured.  This incident will be documented on case number 106261-2017.
