I listened and watched while that was going on, from when they took him to the hospital until when the reporter said she was allowed to say that he had died, which she had already known but didn't want to broadcast.

Perhaps at 10PM, the news will tell more - it sounded like the bad guy had hidden a gun somewhere on his person that wasn't found in a pat-down and started shooting from the back seat of the cruiser. (Remember, this happened before, too!)

He shot the officer "numerous times" in the head. Last I saw, the perp, in dreadlocks, was shaking his head back and forth "No!" when detectives tried to question him. He was hog-tied at the time.

The last I heard on the news tonight was that there had been a woman in the truck with the man who was handcuffed in the patrol car when officer Johnson was shot.

She "left the scene" and they were speculating as to whose gun it was that was found at the scene and whether the male perp actually did the shooting. An earwitness in a nearby house heard three loud shots.

The slain officer's wife is also an HPD officer, as is his cousin. He leaves 5 children, 14 thru 19.
