The incident began about 2:40 p.m. when a car police were pursuing crashed at a residential intersection on the southeastern edge of downtown Houston. Police said the suspect carjacked at gunpoint a white Mercedes and fled to a home several miles away. Police say the man surrendered about 7:30 p.m. Thursday. The officers are hospitalized in stable condition. The suspect surrendered about 7:45 p.m.
