Showing Original Post only (View all)Sheriff's deputy killed in shooting at gas station [View all]
HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -
The Harris County Sheriff's Office is investigating after a sheriff's deputy was fatally shot while on duty Friday at a Chevron gas station.
Sources told KPRC 2 that the officer was shot while pumping gas into his patrol car. Authorities said he was shot multiple times in the back and then shot multiple times once he was on the ground. Investigators said there is no known motive as this time and the shooter said nothing to the deputy before opening fire.

Anyone been keeping track of how many cops are being shot this year?
Seems like quite a few.
In this case, the deputy was assassinated, from the looks of it.
