FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas – A six-hour SWAT standoff in the Sugar Land area ended Tuesday when deputies found the suspect dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.
The standoff started when 41-year-old Serik,Olivares shot a Fort Bend County deputy who was responding to a domestic disturbance.
Deputy J. Bulman was shot in the calf and grazed twice in the chin. Another deputy applied a tourniquet until emergency crews arrived and rushed Bulman to an area hospital. He's expected to be OK.
Other deputies and the SWAT team rushed to the house in Orchard Lake Estates, a gated community near the Grand Parkway and Highway 90.
After shooting the deputy, investigators say, Olivares held his mother and 2-year-old son hostage inside the home in the 3700 block of Lakeridge Canyon Drive.
They were finally released around 8 a.m. but Olivares refused repeated attempts to negotiate.
Around 10:30 a.m., SWAT team members deployed several gas canisters inside of the home.
When Olivares didn't come out, they went inside and found his body.
"What a terribly sad situation," Sheriff Troy Nehls said. "I am grateful that the suspect's family is safe and unharmed and that our deputy is going to make a full recovery."

The woman who called 911 and the suspect's father made it out safely before deputies arrived at the scene.
