The estranged wife of the man in custody who is accused of shooting one Houston police officer to death and wounding another issued a statement one day after the deadly incident at an apartment complex on Holly Hall.
She said if it wasn't for Sgt. Harold Preston's heroics, she would be dead.
"I pray that he rests in heaven, because if it were not for him, I know I would have been killed," she said. "He saved my life. He is a hero. He died protecting me and my family."
Preston and officer Courtney Waller responded to a domestic violence call at an apartment complex in the 2600 block of Holly Hall just before 8 a.m. Tuesday. They spoke to the estranged wife in the parking lot for about an hour before her son came out of the apartment and told them that his father had a gun. That's when police said Elmer Manzano opened fire, shooting both officers.
