– A Houston police officer died Tuesday after being shot multiple times while responding to a domestic disturbance call, the Houston Chronicle reports. According to Reuters, Sgt. Harold Preston, 65, was responding to a call from a woman who said her estranged husband wouldn’t let her collect her things. Police Chief Art Acevedo says the woman’s 14-year-old son was outside the apartment with the boy when his father, 51-year-old Elmer Manzano, opened fire on the officers. Acevedo says Manzano’s 14-year-old son was also shot but is expected to survive. Manzano surrendered about an hour later.
