Law Enforcement Deaths Are Sharply Rising

Last year was the deadliest ever for U.S. law enforcement, with COVID accounting for 65% of total fatalities.

"No more excuses. Everybody take an active role and get intentional about doing whatever you can do to fight gun violence in our city. Period," Houston Police Department Chief Troy Finner said.

It's been a historically violent week in Houston.
