State health officials on Friday reported there were 10,868 patients hospitalized with confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the state on Christmas. That s fewer than 30 people behind the record high set in July. The Texas Department of State Health Services says intensive care units in several parts of the state were full or nearly full.

After the same deputy returned to the apartment, the man “displayed” a gun and the deputy ordered him to drop it, according to Minchew. The man refused and began shooting at the deputy, who returned fire, killing the man in a hallway outside the apartment, he said.
Minchew did not identify the man, the woman or deputy by name.
The man had an “extensive history of domestic violence” and an open arrest warrant on a charge of “harassing communications” with the woman, according to Minchew. He said their relationship ended about six months ago.
The shooting is being reviewed by criminal and internal investigators with the sheriff’s office, as well as the Harris County District Attorney’s Office. Minchew said the deputy involved has been with the sheriff’s office for two years and on patrol for six months.
