MILAM COUNTY, Texas (KRHD) — Milam County police are actively looking for a suspect in connection to a shooting that happened Tuesday afternoon.
The Milam County Sheriff’s Office went to 9th and Polk in Cameron, Texas, at 1:15 p.m. to assist Cameron police after it was believed that a suspect or suspects fled the scene and barricaded themselves at the Cameron Associates Apartments.
Deputies and DPS troopers remained on-site while the Cameron Police Department obtained a search warrant for the apartment.
While on the scene, officers learned that the suspect or suspects may still be in a vehicle headed out of town. Once officers went inside the apartment, they learned it was empty.
The Emergency Management Coordinator’s Office sent a Code Red alert indicating an active shooter was on the loose.
