At about 3 p.m., the officers answered a call of a road rage incident involving a man displaying a gun at Interstate 20 and Hulen Street.
“The two officers were in some type of an accident,” Officer Brad Perez said in a Sunday email.
The officers’ vehicle crashed into a Wells Fargo bank wall at northbound Loop 820 at White Settlement Road.

Officers searched a neighborhood just west of Loop 820 in the Maryville Lane area. The suspect was captured, police said.
