On October 18, HPD Officers responded to a call from Mrs. Santos, stated that her ex-husband, Elmer Manzano, was at the location brandishing a gun threatening Mrs. Santos and her children. HPD Officers took Elmer Manzano into custody that day but Harris County District Attorney Kim Ogg declined to take charges, instructing Officers to release him,  and return the six bullets he had in his pocket, he was also allowed to keep his gun which he claimed was locked in his safe.

Today, responding to another call from Mrs. Santos, Officers responded.  Mr. Manzano answered the door with gunshots at point-blank range.  The two officers and Manzano’s 14-year-old son were hit.

I heard about this today.  The radio said he was an illegal alien with some criminal history.  The gun should have been seized as illegal for him to possess if that is correct.

WTF? The DA needs to be held accountable as accessory to murder.
Yeah, I get it, the law doesn't work quite like that but, damn.

No wonder he wasn't charged when he first threatened to kill people.

We can't be deporting future democratic voters.

Oh, and it is illegal for illegal aliens to own guns.  So of course they gave him back the murder weapon.
