Let me pull out and sequence some of the facts reported in this article:
- the suspects [deceased] as 59-year-old Dennis Tuttle and 58-year-old Rhogena Nicholas
- the home was owned by Tuttle
- State and national searches returned no criminal history for the couple
- Court records showed that Tuttle had no criminal history in Harris County
- when the officers entered the home, they were met by an aggressive dog, which was shot by one officer
- Tuttle walked out of a back room in the home and used a .357 revolver to start shooting at the officers, wounding one of them
- the wounded officer fell on a living room couch, Nicholas tried to grab his weapon
- officers returned fire, killing both Tuttle and Nicholas
I’ll bet anyone $100 that a gag order is placed on any further investigations or court proceedings. It’s it nice that people can be put to death in their own homes for nothing more than a report of the smell of weed, a barking dog, and an old 357 revolver. What would you have done if you were woke abruptly in the middle of the night to someone breaking into your house and shooting your dog?
Please pray for the agents of the state then sing some Lee Greenwood.
