1 Pct. 4 deputy killed, 2 others wounded in ambush outside N Houston bar, authorities say
https://www.click2houston.com/news/loca ... h-houston/

Deputy Kareem Atkins died from his injuries. He was 30. Atkins began working with Precinct 4 in January 2019. He had recently returned from paternity leave. He leaves behind a wife and two-month-old child.

Deputy Juqaim Barthen, 26, and Deputy Darrell Garrett, 28, were wounded in the shooting. Barthen joined Precinct 4 in September 2019. Garrett joined in March 2018.

Garrett was shot in the back multiple times and underwent surgery at Memorial Hermann in downtown Houston.

My heartfelt prayers for Deputy Atkins's family, and especially his wife and new baby. Deputy Garrett evidently had to have both kidneys removed, and one round hit his spine; the story doesn't report his neurological condition. My understanding from the story is that Deputy Barthen was inside the building at the start of the attack and, hearing the gunfire, ran outside to assist his fellow officers. That would have made him the last to take fire, and his condition isn't specified in the article. We're holding Deputies Garrett and Barthen in our prayers for recovery from their severe injuries.

Without citing sources or details, the article states that the ambusher used an AR-15. I'm with C-dub and striker55. It's no casual thing to decide to just open up with a carbine from behind two law enforcement officers. This scum, when caught, will already have been known to the legal system. Guaranteed. But along with the biological pandemic, urban America has been creating its own social pandemic, one that results from making it acceptable to revile the police while at the same time leftist judges let convicted felons walk free on multiple, simultaneous writs of bond. For the violent criminal actor, it's a field day.
