A hospital on Monday announced that it released one of the five Houston police officers injured earlier while serving a search warrant at a home of suspected drug dealers.

Two suspects were shot and killed in the exchange with police.

Houston police tweeted that the fifth officer was released Monday night after being treated for a gunshot wound to the shoulder.

Two officers remain in critical condition at Memorial Hermann-Texas Medical Center in Houston with gunshot wounds to the neck. Two other officers remain hospitalized in good condition. One of the officers suffered a knee injury and is one of those hospitalized in good condition, Houston police tweeted.

At about 4:15 p.m. local time, a group of about a dozen officers with the Houston Police's narcotics unit responded to a residence they suspected was a hub for drug dealing, particularly the sale of "street-level narcotics" like "black tar heroin," Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo said at an evening news conference held outside the hospital. The two suspects had opened fire on the team of officers.
