(Houston, TX) — Two Houston police officers who were shot while serving a search warrant on Monday are in critical but stable condition.
Chief Art Acevedo said several officers immediately came under fire as they breached a home on Harding Street in southeast Houston. Two other officers who were shot will remain at the hospital for 24 hours. A fifth officer suffered a knee injury. Two suspects were killed at the scene.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott is asking for prayers. He called it a “horrific attack” and said it’s a reminder of the service and sacrifice law enforcement makes every day. He also promised the Houston Police Department whatever resources they need.
