The Johnson County Sheriff's Department says a Cleburne man shot and killed his father, then got into a shoot out with an officer.
The department reported 48-year-old Omar Rodriguez is recovering from a shoulder wound at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.
Deputies responded the scene along Harriet Circle on Friday night after Rodriguez's sister called 911, claiming he had shot their father 72-year-old Manuel Rodriguez.
The female drove her father to a nearby hospital where he died from the gunshot wounds.
Omar Rodriguez fled to an adjoining home and refused to exit the residence when deputies arrived.
JCSO said deputies believed Omar Rodriguez had committed suicide and entered the residence. They were met with gun fire from him. A deputy returned fire, striking Rodriguez in the left shoulder area.
Police say a second Johnson County Deputy received wounds from flying debris from a wall that Rodriguez hit while firing at the deputies. That deputy was treated and released from Walls Methodist Hospital.
