Authorities haven’t released a motive, but stated the shooting was intentional. Police said there is no reason to believe the shooter will target residents.
“Whether or not [the officer] was specifically targeted, or whether this was because of the uniform he was wearing or the place he pulled up to in the morning, we just don’t know that right now,” Lt. Steve Dorris told the Houston Chronicle.
