Body and Rifle Found After Kingwood SWAT Standoff That Ended in House Fire

Houston police now lead the investigation pending identification of the remains.

Overview

  • Harris County deputies arrived at a Shadow Rock Drive home to serve arrest and search warrants for 46-year-old Christian Andrew Peck tied to domestic-violence allegations.
  • The occupant refused to surrender and fired at deputies’ equipment without causing injuries, and chemical munitions deployed into the house were ineffective.
  • Authorities say the barricaded person set the house on fire shortly before 2:30 p.m., leading firefighters to work from shielded positions as neighbors were evacuated and a nearby gas line was managed.
  • Houston Fire crews later entered the burned structure and found a deceased person and a rifle, and officials have not yet confirmed the individual’s identity.
  • Humble ISD placed three nearby campuses in secure mode with perimeter controls and in-building holds, and officials now report the scene is secure as the investigation proceeds.
