An armed holdup at a Caldwell grocery store ends in a shootout that leaves the suspect dead and a police officer wounded.

Authorities say Louis Arvin tried to rob the Brookshire Brothers grocery store on Highway 36 Tuesday afternoon.

When officers arrived, he fled, leading to a high-speed chase. The pursuit ended at a home on Highway 21, adjacent to the Loving Word Christian Ministry chapel.

"We heard a pop," Caldwell resident Tom Corsello said. "Then a pop, pop, pop."

Gunfire erupted in the front yard of the Caldwell home. According to Texas Ranger Frank Malinak, Arvin shot Cadwell Officer Cougan Hignight. Hignight returned fire, killing Arvin.

Officer Cougan Hignight was transported to St. Joseph Regional Health Center in Bryan with a gunshot wound in his right arm. He was later released.

RESPECT??! since when do peace officers get respect? sure a few people are left in the world, but for the most part, cops thought either to be crooked or to have some kind of complex. the whole time you are talking about respecting peace officers you are bashing them by saying that their job is not dangerous.

BB You said>>>>>>I think the police should not fire until fired upon>>>>>>>Jun 12 at 6:29am I hope you do not think police are that dumb in Bryan and the USA. >>>>>most criminals don't have the brass to do it.>>>> Have you ever heard of suicide by cop and suicide bombers. Criminals have been shooting police officers for hundreds of years. Gun fights do not happen like on TV. If you let the bad guy shoot first all the time like you said we would have alot of dead police and private citizens. The next time a cop comes to a business robbery and the person inside has a gun he gets a free shot at the police. If the officer is killed then the robber shoots the employee and goes. If the cop wins then we are ok. Get a cup of coffee no one is this Nieve. Turn off the tv it does not work this way in real life as others have been telling you. All the Bryan PD shootings were no bills by the DA. Whoever suggested the citizens police academy to you was being polite to someone of your intelligence.
