Residents in one Southside neighborhood are being asked to stay indoors as officers investigate an officer-involved shooting.

According to Lieutenant Eryca Gonzales, the Corpus Christi Police Department was dispatched to the Four Winds Apartments on the 4100 block of Brett Street around 9:40 p.m. for a disturbance between a man and a woman.

"When officers arrived, a male opened the door and threatened officers, asked them if they were ready to die. When officers made contact with the R.P. (reporting party), the male subject came out and displayed a weapon and that's when officers fired at the subject,"
