\"\"Barricaded suspect (KPRC 2)<\/p>\n

HOUSTON \u2013 Houston police are currently trying to take a barricaded suspect into custody at an apartment complex on the north side.<\/p>\n

The standoff is happening at the Garden Oaks Village apartments located at 4411 N. Shepherd Drive. Police say it started around 4:20 p.m. when officers got a call about a person who was stabbed. The suspect barricaded himself in the apartment afterwards.<\/p>\n

KPRC 2\u2019s Corley Peel is at the scene where she says she has seen officers with guns drawn.<\/p>\n

Smoke has also been seen coming out of the unit that officers have surrounded. It started out as white smoke, but has now become heavy black smoke.<\/p>\n
