It's unclear what exactly sparked the initial altercation between the deputy and the suspect, who was later shot by two HPD officers and died at a hospital.
Police said an altercation ended with the deadly shooting of the deputy. The suspect was later shot by two police officers and died at a hospital, Chief Troy Finner said.
The suspect then made his way to the food court, where he was found by two HPD officers who had been called for an officer assist. Investigators said that's when the suspect threatened them with a sharp object, and both officers fired their weapons. The suspect, whose identity has not been released, later died at the hospital.
Dee Dee Adams bravely spoke out and asked for prayers for all law enforcement officers, just a few hours after her husband was shot and killed. Dee Dee is the San Jacinto County Treasurer. "My husband always said you can either be a sheep or a sheepdog and I want everybody to pray for all the sheepdogs out there that are protecting everybody," Dee Dee said."They get a bad rap and they just want to protect. That's what they want to do in their heart. Everybody's turned their back on them and everybody should pray for all of them because they're here for you.
