Five police officers in U.S. Texas city of Houston were wounded in a shooting and taken to hospital, the police department said in a statement Monday evening.

The incident occurred when police officers from the Houston narcotics division attempted to serve a warrant in a southeastern residential area, around 11 km from the downtown early Monday evening.

Governor of Texas Greg Abbott said in a statement that the horrific attack "is a solemn reminder of the service and sacrifice our brave men and women in law enforcement make every day to keep us safe."
