Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia said the suspect began firing at officers after they knocked for 3 minutes, announced their presence and breached the door.

One officer, Senior Corporal Edgar Morales, was shot in the calf in the initial exchange.

Footage from the scene shows Morales walking with a slight hobble.

"This suspect had already shown he had no regard for human life, wanted for capital murder, tried to murder my officers and officers of this task force last Thursday.," said Garcia.

At some point, Owens was also shot.

"Owens exited the apartment and was given orders to surrender. He did not comply and went back into the apartment, broke out a window and started to throw items out of the apartment window. Officers saw Owens with a handgun both inside and outside the apartment," said Garcia.

Eventually, officers entered the apartment.

"He was armed with an illegal weapon with a modification we and our law enforcement partners work to take off our streets daily. The Glock switch, as you’d heard me say before, small device that allows a semi-automatic weapon to fire automatically within seconds. Owens fired more than 15 rounds in that doorway at our officers and then an additional 6 at some point during the confrontation," said Chief Garcia.

During the shootout, a man and woman also in the apartment called 911. They safely made it out.

"So now we’re just in the closet laying down," the female caller told Dallas Police dispatch. "Oh my God! They’re shooting, they’re shooting, they’re shooting."

Police eventually made their way inside the apartment and took Owens into custody.

"Your heart drops, I've been on this side, there's a lot of us who have served those same type of warrants before, so I can totally understand what went through those officers' minds, but the fact and how they acted, heroically, the officer who was shot. They had a partner that was shot and for them to stand there in the face of evil like that, I'm proud of them for what they did," said Garcia.

Owens was taken to the hospital in critical condition. Garcia says he is currently stable.

Senior Corporal Morales was treated and released from the hospital.

Garcia said this is the eleventh shooting involving DPD officers this year.

"If there is a pattern, violent criminals are shooting at our police officers. That is not a Dallas thing, that's a national thing. That's a national major issue," Chief Garcia said.

Owens' capital murder warrant is from a deadly robbery off Forest Lane. 

Garcia says two other suspects in the murder case remain at large.

"This suspect is the type of dangerous, violent criminal this task force comes into contact with on a regular basis," said Chief Garcia.

In addition to the capital murder warrant, Owens will face 3 counts of aggravated assault of a public servant.

Garcia also noted that Owens had a criminal history, including illegal possession of a firearm.

The Dallas Count District Attorney's Office will investigate the officer-involved shooting.
