When officers arrived, they say Jeffrey Bodie, 39, was intoxicated and threatening to kill himself and then fired four rounds from a weapon, into and through the front door of the residence. Police and SWAT officers surrounded the house and got into a standoff until about 11 p.m. when Bodie came outside with a rifle and confronted police, refusing to put down his gun. Authorities say he pointed the gun at officers and officers fired on him, killing him.
No one was inside the house at time of the shooting, police said.
The Galveston County Sheriff’s Office is now handling the investigation, as well as the Galveston County District Attorney’s Office.
League City police said details on the incident would not be released until Saturday morning.
