FBI, MS-13 shootout in east Houston

There was a shootout last night in East Houston:

One alleged gang member was taken into custody and two others were killed after authorities said they opened fire on undercover FBI agents in east Houston.

The agents were investigating MS-13 gang activity when they were ambushed by five men on Liberty at Lockwood.

The agents fired back killing two suspects and wounding two others. A fifth suspect was also taken into custody.

Yikes!

Houston may not have enough police officers (and with MS-13 gang activity and the increasing problem of graffiti, the shortage is very apparent), but gosh darnit, we are going to have a lovely AND world-class downtown park! The homeless and the gangs will love hanging out in the beautiful, leafy park that Mayor White thinks will be teeming with strolling Houstonians.
