A gunman "came out of nowhere" and fired on constable's deputies who were trying to detain someone else outside a Houston bar early Saturday, ultimately killing one deputy and injuring two others, a constable said.

Deputy Kareem Atkins, 30, died from his gun shot injuries, according to a statement posted on Facebook by Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman, which identified the three deputies involved. Atkins is survived by his wife and 2-month-old baby.

The two deputies injured were identified as as Darrell Garrett, 28, and Juqaim Barthen, 26. Garrett was shot in the back, underwent surgery and was in the ICU Saturday afternoon, the statement said. Barthen was "immediately shot and immobilized," it added, without going into further detail.

Police say they're looking for the shooter.

“The shooting happened around 2:15 a.m., after at least two of the Precinct 4 constable deputies — working an extra job at 45 Norte Sports Bar — went outside to address a disturbance, authorities said.”

Nothing good happens after midnight on the streets.

When Biden was VP, some thug shot and killed five police officers in Dallas.

Black on black crime. All the deputies involved are black. How does BLM categorize the deputies' lives? How about their families? Do any of these lives matter to BLM? Prayers up for the deputies and their families.

Such a peculiar way to view this incident.

Damn shame.

R.I.P. for the E.O.W. LEOS.

Unfortunately, the perp is most definitely back in Mexico by now.

That’s a high risk O.T. job to take.

Black on black crime

Most likely a haunt for illegal MVNs (Mexicans of Varying Nationalities). Just an illegal high on marahoochie who got paranoid, but we'll never know.

He’s not wrong.

I’m sure CNN is hoping the gunman is a conservative white Republican.

Why?

I’m sure CNN is hoping the gunman is a conservative white Republican.

Of course he's not. And we know who it is, and that seems to trouble BenLurkin.

South of where I live.
Not a good area of Houston.

[Does so]

“Incident”?

[Veggie Todd]

Wow. CNN said it was a man that shot them, instead of it just being “gun violence”.

There is a good chance that the guman is out on a PR bond for some other violent crime in Houston.

I remember that. The Dallas Cowboys wanted to wear a decal honoring those fallen officers. The NFL said no. The NFL leadership was garbage even back then.

Oh, C’mon. It is late at night in the parking lot of a bar. You are surprised that there are shootings?

Houston is not (yet) Chicago. But, it is run by another blue Demo idiot. So, laws are not enforced and criminals act with impunity — unless the “other guy” is also armed.
