According to police, they were assisting Texas State Troopers at the Speedway located at intersection of Doniphan Dr. and Mesa St.

When our ABC-7 crews arrived, multiple law enforcement agencies were at the scene.

Officials confirmed that chemical agents were deployed by SWAT officers to get the suspect to come out of the gas station.

Shots were then fired by responding officers.

He was transported to a local hospital but died from his injuries, according to police officials.
