assigned<\/a> to the department\u2019s burglary unit had been conducting surveillance on a group of known burglary suspects before following their vehicle to the gas station, where officers observed a burglary in progress.<\/p>\nAs detectives exited their vehicles to approach the suspects, at least one suspect allegedly opened fire on the officers.<\/p>\n
Police returned fire, striking one of the suspects an unknown number of times. Officers immediately rendered medical aid to the suspect.<\/p>\n
Four Suspects Involved<\/p>\n
Authorities said the group consisted of four suspects \u2014 one adult and three juveniles.<\/p>\n
The suspect who was shot was transported to a hospital, where police later said the individual underwent surgery. Officials have not released the suspect\u2019s identity or current condition.<\/p>\n
A second suspect was hospitalized with injuries unrelated to the shooting and is expected to recover. The remaining two suspects were taken into custody.<\/p>\n
Because three of the four suspects are juveniles, their identities will not be released.<\/p>\n
No Officers or Bystanders Hurt<\/p>\n
Plano police said no officers were injured during the exchange of gunfire. Authorities also confirmed that no RaceTrac employees, customers, or other members of the public were injured.<\/p>\n
Police believe the incident was isolated and said there are no outstanding suspects connected to the shooting.<\/p>\n
Investigation Ongoing<\/p>\n
Officials have not released details about the burglary investigation that led detectives to the suspects or the charges they may face.<\/p>\n
