The recent killing of a couple in Houston, Texas, and the wounding of four police officers, has been claimed to be an ambush of police by drug dealers.
Later accounts by officers at the scene show that police broke into the house, and fired first, killing the couple's dog.
The husband then fired back, wounding the officer who killed their dog.
Officers then shot the unarmed 58-year-old wife. They claim she was attempting to get the shotgun from the wounded officer. From cnn.com:
When Monday afternoon's raid was over, two suspects were dead and five officers were injured, four of them suffering gunshot wounds. The first officer fired a shotgun blast, killing the dog. Suspect Dennis Tuttle, 59, initially retreated but returned with a .357 Magnum, shooting the officer in the shoulder, the chief said. The officer collapsed onto a couch in the living room.
As the other narcotics officers charged through the door which Acevedo described as a fatal funnel the second suspect, Rhogena Nicholas, 58, tried to wrestle the shotgun away from the officer on the couch. Police quickly shot her.
More gunfire was exchanged as the 54-year-old officer who breached the door the officer who knocks down the door goes in last charged into the fray, realizing his fellow officers were in trouble.
He immediately knew his partners were down and he made entry. When he made entry, he got shot, Acevedo said. You know your brother's down, your sister's down, you go in, and that's what they did.

It will at some point. Too bad you won't have your say in court, or at the internal affairs investigation, if they bother with one...
Besides, half our elected "betters" say walls and fences are immoral!
7815 HARDY Street instead of 7815 HARDING Street
The average house with typical 60 year old couple car in the drive way was 7815 Harding street. The known drug house with security cameras, bars on windows was 7815 Hardy street.
Thats a theory.
The problem with that theory is the houses are 20 miles apart on different sides of Houston.
The people who executed the raid said they had an informant buy drugs at the location of the raid the previous day.
They "wrong location" meme just does not work in this case.
Pit bull
Cops claim. Snitch had made a buy but no wire or recording or video
This is a stinky case.
If they murdered these folks they need to effing pay
This happens a lot folks the way we prosecute the never ending dope wars
Not to mention confiscation laws....another abuse behind imagination
First story I saw said pit bull, I think.
Freegards
'Oderint dum metuant'' - ''let them hate as long as they fear.'' It was a favorite saying of the emperor Caligula, and some modern American police, or so it seems...
Its starting to look like they were very sloppy and hit the wrong house
Man that house nearby with serious hardware is definitely something with all that security in the hood
Could be dope or a numbers racket joint
Or bicho or some other lottery type gambling
Cops should have had a recording and film on their drug buy by their snitch
Where is it
Texas Rangers will cover their own too
This aint 1840s
Pressure from third party non LEO groups is a good start
If the police shot Tuttle and Nicholas in the opening moments, who shot the other three cops?
Any guard type dog likely woulda hit the intruders unless it was passive
My daughters pit on my homepage...the white one....is passive to humans
But lethal to fellow male dogs..he just hits em and its on
Except if they are part of his pack which is run by a malnois bitch
Where is your evidence to support the narcs.
Show us
Go hump someone elses leg.

They always shoot the dog first, don’t they Nully?
I don’t think the pit bull would respond to a warning ...
Toy poodle, perhaps? But it doesn’t matter, if there is a dog anywhere around, it is the first thing shot. Now a dog sees a plolce car, they get low to the ground and run like hell.
Pit bull.
Also neighbors referred to it as ‘the drug house’.
Pit bull.
It was a pit bull.
Since “marktwain” IS the author, I’ll trust the source, if it’s all the same to you.
So it seems.
