Houston Cop Shoots Deputy Amputee Wielding Pen
For justice
On Saturday a Houston, TX police officer fatally shot a mentally ill man in a wheelchair who had one arm and one leg. The victim was a resident of a group home and had a history of mental problems. The caretaker of the place was the one who called police at 2:30 am because the as-yet-unnamed man was causing a "disturbance."
