    Houston sergeant killed in shooting ‘died protecting me and my family,' estranged wife of alleged killer says

    Houston police Sgt. Harold Preston was a 41-year veteran of the police force

    The Houston police sergeant killed in a shooting on Tuesday has been praised by the estranged wife of his alleged killed for protecting her and her son after he responded to a domestic violence call, according to a report.

    Houston police Sgt. Harold Preston, 65, was shot multiple times at an apartment complex, and 51-year-old Elmer Manzano, who authorities have confirmed is an illegal immigrant, was arrested. Preston was a 41-year veteran of the police force.

    "I pray that he rests in heaven, because if it were not for him, I know I would have been killed," the estranged wife, who was not named, said in a statement obtained by KHOU-TV. "He saved my life. He is a hero. He died protecting me and my family."

    Preston and Officer Courtney Waller responded to a domestic violence call at an apartment complex after the estranged wife of Manzano said she was moving out and wanted to get some things from inside.

    The officers spoke with the woman and her 14-year-old son in a parking lot for about an hour before the boy unlocked the apartment door and alerted officers that his father had a gun.

    Manzano then allegedly opened fire, striking the officers and his son. Waller and the boy are expected to recover.

    Manzano surrendered to authorities after briefly barricading himself inside the apartment. He was shot in the abdomen and taken to a hospital.

    Manzano faces capital murder and attempted capital murder charges in the death Preston and the shooting of Waller, respectively. He also is charged with aggravated assault.
    Manzano could face the death penalty, prosecutors said.

    The estranged wife also offered condolences to Preston’s family and urged victims of domestic violence to not be intimidated by their abusers and call police for help.

    Is this "estranged" wife in our country illegally?

    If so, she needs to be deported with her minor children. These violent people follow them here! Now this officer lost his life.

    Deport every last illegal alien off our soil and evict them from our housing! Stop harboring these illegal aliens!

    This POS should face the death penalty at sunrise...period. No rotting in our prison on OUR dime for decades!
    ILLEGAL ALIENS HAVE "BROKEN" OUR IMMIGRATION SYSTEM

    DO NOT REWARD THEM - DEPORT THEM ALL

    How many American citizens have died because of the left-wing leaders in Houston, TX and their Sanctuary City policies? Thousands? Tens of thousands?
