Lang Street, Alvin Missionary Baptist Church. As officer began searching the property for Chapa he emerged from an adjacent wooded area with the firearm. As officers moved closer they gave repeated instructions for Chapa to put the weapon on the ground. Chapa finally threw the weapon on the ground behind him.
