“The outpouring support we got from all law enforcement agencies for the Harris County Sheriff’s office, the Houston Police Department was out there,” said Constable Mark Herman with Harris County Precinct 4.

“I received a call on the way to the hospital from Chief Art Acevedo saying whatever he has at his disposal. The emotions and outpour has just been tremendous. We appreciate everything. The good news is our deputy is going to survive and make this. To what degree, we don’t know yet.”
