The Houston Police Department confirmed on Monday evening that four officers were shot and wounded at about 5 p.m. local time while serving a warrant.

The incident took place in southeast Houston, and two suspects were shot and killed. A fifth officer was injured, but not hit by gunfire. Houston Police said the officers were taken to three different hospitals, and their conditions range from "pretty good, to really bad."

Law enforcement sources told The Houston Chronicle the officers were from the narcotics division, and serving a warrant at a house where they once purchased drugs. When they got to the door, gunfire broke out inside, and one officer was shot in the face, the sources said. In a statement, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said the "horrific attack" is a "solemn reminder of the service our brave men and women in law enforcement make every day to keep us safe."
