A Houston Police Officer was fatally shot this week and many are now asking why the dangerous criminal was allowed to keep his gun after recently being involved in a domestic dispute.
Once again a district attorney funded by George Soros money is directly connected to a violent disaster that should have never happened.
Samantha Ketterer and St. John Barned-Smith report:
District Attorney candidate Mary Nan Huffman blamed incumbent Kim Ogg for a Houston police sergeant's death on Tuesday, claiming that her office's decision not to take charges against the suspect in an earlier domestic disturbance "directly" led to the fatal shooting.
Huffman, a lawyer for the Houston Police Officers' Union, said Ogg “put the gun in (suspect Elmer Manzano’s) hands."
“His death was 100% preventable,” she wrote in a news release. “Had charges been accepted, Mr. Manzano might be back on the street, but his gun and ammunition would have been seized and held as evidence. No gun would have meant no dead officer.”
Police named Manzano, 51, as the suspected gunman in Sgt. Harold Preston's death and Officer Courtney Waller's shooting injury. Manzano was also shot while exchanging gunfire with police, authorities say.
Huffman's statement appears to regard a domestic disturbance on Oct. 18, an incident that also involved Waller.
Police responded to a call at the home that morning, where Manzano's estranged wife told police Manzano had threatened her and that she was "in fear for her life."
Manzano had arrived home around 3 a.m., before waking up at 7 a.m. wanting to take one of their younger sons to McDonalds to eat breakfast, according to his ex-wife, who lived at the apartment with him. She refused, and Manzano brandished his weapon at her and their children before threatening her with deportation, she said.
