Waiting for fox or cnn to pick it up. Nothing yet. Scary stuff.

[Deej 76752]

Do they know how many were shot by their fellow officers?

[Lat22 4010]

Three separate life flight helicopters in use. 

[SHOOTER12 8800]

Damn, watching now...

[TexasHooch 5122]

I've seen nothing on this but if it was a coordinated execution of a warrant, friendly fire is unlikely.

Keeping one life flight on the ground on scene, wonder if this is ongoing.

Boy, Art Rascon keeps speculating like a mofo. Just tell us you don’t have any info and leave it at that.

The bird isn’t launched pre-emptively. There’s probably someone in the back of the ambulance being worked on and prepped for flight. CPR in a bird is damn near impossible

Well three have landed, two picked up wounded and left, the first to land turned its engines off.

At least they didn't get raped?

[Lobwedgephil 1139]

3 suspects, at least one dead. Talking with the other or others who are barricaded at the scene.

Neighbor says she can hear the police negotiating with the 3rd suspect in the house.

Good Lord, with all the cops at the crime scene and the hospital, Houston is ripe for the taking. Who's with me?

Sorry, bro.  However the Johnsonville Cornhole Championship is still going on ESPN2 now.

If there was a disabled car, there would also be 75 tow trucks.

Bill Balleza reminds me a little bit of Lee Corso in that he needs to be put out to pasture and is a little tough to listen to

The most dangerous place to be standing at this crime scene right now is anywhere between Houston Police Chief Art Acevedo and a live TV camera.

It’s understandable that cops are upset at being targeted.  I can’t recall the exact quote but something like cops know who are talking bad about them online.  They better look out.

Art Rascon is a fucking idiot.  He can barely read the words on the prompter correctly when he is ad-libbing, there's no telling what will come out of his mouth. He is by far the worst anchor in Houston, and has been for years

Could be any number of things. I’m just telling you they don’t launch preemptively. They’ve either got a patient they’re working in an ambulance or the flight crew went by ground with the ambulance crew to the hospital or they had engine troubles.

Both possible, but sometimes they don't actually know how many patients will be critical enough to warrant air evac. EMS may have dispatched all three just to be safe, only to find out later that they only had 2 patients for air transport. In a situation like that with 5 cops reported down already, I could easily see that happening.

Cops probably get a chopper on standby. Regular folks not so much.

He's out there yelling in glasses he apparently picked up on the women's side of a Montrose boutique.

[elnimo 55]

He’s got a major Napoleon complex. He was going strong until he went off the deep end with that shit. If you want the public behind you, how about not turning them into the enemy?

Those that make the rules get preference.  But it's normal.   If a football player at a UT game has a seizure, they will get him to clinical care within minutes.  Happens to a fan in the stands, its going to take a while to get you to the hospital.

A friend I met down there while helping out with Harvey stuff was apparently involved. Hoping he makes a speedy recovery.

Godspeed

[TwiceHorn 31438]

Presumably, because they were "serving" the warrant, this was an arrest warrant (I assume they would say search or search warrant if that was what was involved).  Or maybe just a warrant for a court appearance?  If arrest warrant, why don't they just say "attempting to arrest a suspect" and "pursuant to an arrest warrant" if that detail is needed.

 

NVM I see elsewhere that it was a search warrant.
