The Round Rock Police Department is investigating an officer-involved shooting that occurred on Westinghouse Road near Texas Crushed Stone on Tuesday, January 7, 2025.

At approximately 9:40 p.m., officers responded to a 9-1-1 call reporting a vehicle driving erratically, which resulted in a single-vehicle collision. As officers arrived, the subject exited the vehicle and fled into a wooded area.

In response, Round Rock SWAT officers were dispatched to the scene. As SWAT officers attempted to approach the subject, one officer discharged their weapon.

The subject was declared deceased at the scene and a preliminary investigation indicates the subject may have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The Travis County Medical Examiner will conduct an autopsy, and the results are pending.

No officers were injured during the incident. In accordance with department policy, the officer involved has been placed on administrative leave pending further investigation. The Texas Department of Public Safety Texas Rangers are assisting in the investigation, and additional information will be released as it becomes available.
