CARROLLTON, Texas — Plano police say their officers were involved in a shooting Wednesday morning on East Hebron Parkway in Carrollton.

Officials say the detectives attempted to approach when the suspects reportedly began shooting at them. The detectives returned fire, hitting one of the suspects.
Two suspects were taken into custody at the scene and are currently being held in the Plano City Jail. Police say a third suspect is getting medical care for an injury and will be arrested upon release. The fourth suspect, who was shot, underwent surgery and is recovering at the hospital. They will be arrested upon their release.
Three of the suspects, including the suspect in the hospital, are juveniles, police say. Only one suspect is an adult, 23-year-old Brandon Lopez-Romero.
All four suspects are being charged with burglary of a building from an offense they reportedly committed in Frisco. Additionally, the juvenile suspect in the hospital will be charged with aggravated assault on a public servant.
None of the officers were injured in the incident, but they are being placed on administrative leave as part of standard policy after a shooting.
The public information officer with Plano says the investigation is ongoing, and more details around the shooting and the burglaries will be released in the coming days.
