Here’s what Chief Arcevedo said after the raid.
HPD Chief Acevedo gave an updated timeline of what happened when a team of officers went to serve a search warrant at the couple’s home in southeast Houston shortly before 5 p.m. Monday.
He said the narcotics officers, a group of 15, arrived at the home on Harding Street. Upon making entry, they “immediately came under fire.”
“The first officer through the door, armed with a shotgun, was charged immediately by a very large pit bull,” said Acevedo. “The officer discharged rounds, and we know the dog was struck and killed.”
At the same time, a male suspect identified as Tuttle, came from the back of the home and opened fire with a .357 Magnum revolver.
“That officer was struck in the shoulder. He went down, fell on the sofa in the living room, at which time a female suspect went towards that officer, reached over the officer and started making a move for his shotgun.”
That’s when backup officers also made entry and opened fire, killing the female suspect. An exchange of gunfire continued with the male suspect.

This whole thing stinks. Is this the future of law enforcement in the U.S.?
A revolver? He must have had really really good aim.
