A 32-year veteran of the Houston police force, who has been shot twice in the past, received the third battle wound of his career on Jan. 28 during a drug raid in Houston, Texas, according to police at a media briefing.
As the breacher, the unnamed veteran officer opened the suspect’s door, clearing the way for his fellow officers. When they fell—one by one, greeted by a revolver—the veteran, possessed by courage, entered the house to save his comrades and took a bullet in the neck.
