周六晚间,德州 Huston 的一名警务人员在值班处理暴力事件时遭遇嫌疑人的枪击,最终不幸身亡。
当时一名女性向警方报告说,她的男朋友殴打她,并手持两支枪械。警方说,现年32岁的 Christopher Brewster 得知这件事后在自己所在位置三街之外找到了这对情侣。但是就在他下车的时候,犯罪嫌疑人朝他开枪。
“尽管他受到了致命的伤害,但他依然将手枪从皮套中拉出来以保护自己,而且还将犯罪嫌疑人的相关消息广播出来,这是非常有勇气的行为”,休斯敦警察局局长 Art Acevedo 这样说道。
Brewster 在枪击事件发生约30分钟后死亡。
这位25岁的犯罪嫌疑人手持半自动手枪,逃离现场后在学校附近被捕。
We have recovered a second firearm and other evidence believed to have been tossed by the suspect and have confirmed Sergeant Brewster was wearing his vest.

Acevedo 随后在推特上说,在犯罪现场已收集到“第二支枪支和其他证据”,并确认当时 Brewster 穿着防护背心。
枪击事件发生后,Greg Abbott 州长致电 Brewster 表示慰问,他还在 Twitter 上发文表示自己的遗憾与难过。
