BEAUMONT —
An early morning shooting involving a Beaumont police officer remains under investigation, according to authorities.
Officers with the Beaumont Police Department answered the call of a disturbance shortly before 6 a.m., Friday, in the 3200 block of North 10th Street in Beaumont which involved an unidentified female who informed dispatchers she had been assaulted.
The 22-year-old woman, who was waiting outside the house for police to arrive, told dispatchers three men were inside the house and had been drinking.
