Police Chief Harold Hurtt said Thursday that Houston has recorded 316 homicides in the 289 days from January 1 through October 16. He said that was about a 25 percent increase over the same period from 2005.

One can understand why Chief Hurtt heads to Phoenix on weekends. It’s probably much safer there.

Have a happy Friday everyone!
