They pulled it over and the individuals in the vehicle started shooting at the officers as they approached. Both officers were struck and the individuals in the vehicle fled, with all four being taken into custody later.<\/p>\n<p>Three officers <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/3-houston-police-officers-shot-officials-say\">were also shot<\/a> and hospitalized in Houston, Texas, Fox reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThree police officers were hospitalized during a separate shooting incident in Houston, after a suspect shot one officer in the foot, another in the leg, and a third officer in the arm, all of whom were hospitalized in stable condition at Memorial Hermann Hospital, authorities said,\u201d the outlet noted. The officers were identified in a tweet from the Houston Police Department as N. Gadson, 35, who has been on the force for four years; D. Hayden, 32, who has served for three years; and A.
