MAN IN CUSTODY AFTER DEADLY AMBUSH ON HARRIS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY
ABC13 ^ | 8/29/15 | ABC13

Posted on 08/29/2015 7:01:22 AM PDT by jimbo123

A person of interest is in custody after the deadly ambush of a Harris County sheriff's deputy, fatally gunned down without warning Friday night while filling up his patrol car at a northwest Harris County gas station.

We've learned the person of interest is inside the Harris County Sheriff's Office in east Houston and continues to be questioned in the the case.

No one has been charged and the search continues for the suspect.

Deputy Darren Goforth, 47, has just left an accident scene when he stopped by a gas station on Telge and West Road. As he was pumping gas, a man approached him from behind, said nothing and fired multiple shots. Once the deputy fell to the ground, the suspect fired more shots. Deputy Goforth was pronounced dead on the scene.

An intense manhunt covered Harris County for hours overnight. At about 2:30am, authorities converged on a home on Crystal Lake in Copperfield, led there by a tip. The focus of the investigation is on the red pickup truck in the home's driveway. The person of interest was taken into custody at what's said to be his mother's house. His identity has not been released.

The man's mother -- who didn't want to show her face or give her name -- tells Eyewitness News her son is innocent. She said, "My son is innocent. I was in the house with him, so when that happened, my son was home."

Actually it kinda makes sense. The police had announced they were searching for the suspect of that killing and likely named said suspect.

Mother felt it wise to turn her suspect son in rather than have him shoot it out with policeor other possibily worse scenario.

I was appalled this morning when the MSM refused to identify the race of the cold blooded murderer.
There is a race war going on and one side has yet to recognize it.

With a government and ruling political party that won't call muslim terrorists "Terrorists" but labels their critics, Pro-Lifers, military vets, conservatives and the Tea-Party as terrorists is that a surprise?

See:

Black Power - A Done Deal

http://www.fredoneverything.net/BlackPower.shtml

"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive, most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics. Yet they do. Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can’t do. Their power seems without limit."

"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks."

We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums.

One might think that a single set of laws should apply to all citizens, and that things should be done without regard to race, creed, color, sex, or national origin, and that all should have the same rights and responsibilities. It is not so.

The dominance of the media by blacks is impressive. If a white shoots a black to defend himself, it becomes national news for weeks, or months, and riots follow, but when blacks engage in their unending racial attacks on whites, the media demurely look the other way. The attackers are never black. They are “teens.” Reporters who say otherwise are likely to be fired. In effect, the thirteen percent censor the national press.

The military, and its strictly enforced racial harmony, is not representative of reality.

Bull. I never was forced to be friends with people. The whiney racist blacks (who did indeed exist in the military) were never my friends. The friends I’m talking about were actual Americans—first.

Are you saying they’re ALL there because we’ve been forced to accept them?

That’s crazy talk.

"I thought that mom was the one who turned him in...?"

There's nothing in the article or accompanying video that claims that. All that is said is that there was a tip.

And, unless the suspect happens to be White, you will never know the race of the suspect by reading the article.

I’ve wondered that for some time. He has been inciting hatred and violence for years. The only conclusion I could arrive at was that the resulting race riots and mayhem, along with more of the same attacks on police, would not be worth it.

Generic name is GSR or gunshot residue. Chemical, binary, atomic absorption- several types.

TV shows also refer to GPR or gun powder residue.
