September 17, 2024 -- Please attribute the following to Mayor John Whitmire.
"This morning, I was informed by Houston Police Chief Noe Diaz that an officer had been shot while courageously responding to a home invasion. I am relieved to report that the officer has been transported to Memorial Hermann Hospital and is in stable condition.
The incident happened in the 7100 block of Alderney Drive near Antoine Drive. Police detained two individuals at the scene, searching for a third suspect.
I extend my deepest gratitude to our brave first responders, who put their lives on the line daily to keep our community safe. Their dedication and sacrifice do not go unnoticed."
