CHANNELVIEW, Texas — Three men were killed in a shootout with a resident during an attempted home invasion in Channelview, the sheriff’s office said.

The shooting was reported at about 10 a.m. Monday in the 1800 block of Amie Michele.

Early reports from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office indicated multiple men wearing dark clothing attempted to break into the home. One resident inside the home hid while another grabbed a shotgun and exchanged gunfire with the alleged home invaders.

At least three suspects were shot, and all three died at the scene.

Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said other suspects may have also been involved in the crime before fleeing.
