the city of houston and the texas medical center. i'm thankful that we in this instance, the community came forward. the community was our absolute greatest force multiplier. obviously our detective, our patrol officers did not rest. our command staff did not rest until we had this suspect in custody. i'm very thankful that this suspect, although he committed suicide, you normally don't put on a bullet proof vest when you're thinking about suicide. when you start thinking about -- just based on my experience, an opinion, a hunch -- but i thank god that second officer got there when he got there because the suspect was not complying with the commands or the officer kept his strong hand with the weapon in it secreted where the officer couldn't see it. it wasn't until he saw that second officer. i'm convinced that had we not had that second officer arrive from a different angle, we might have had a shootout here. i just thank god.
