KTRH: Cop killer is illegal immigrant
KTRH-740 is reporting (mp3 download) that "sources" tell them that the man who killed the HPD officer yesterday was an illegal immigrant, in addition to having a rap sheet.
This is a hot topic on the Chris Baker show at the moment, which began at 1pm today.
It's odd that no other news source bothered to dig up this information that KTRH is reporting.
UPDATE: KTRH-740's report has been updated online. The Chronicle is also now reporting that the killer is an illegal immigrant.
UPDATE 2: KTRH-740, KPRC-2, and KTRK-13 went to live coverage of the 4pm press conference on this topic. KHOU-11 declined to switch from ratings powerhouse Oprah (very nice use of the public airwaves, KHOU -- thanks). Chief Hurtt concluded his statement by referencing "Rodney Brown... uh Rodney Johnson." Very impressive, Chief. Probably in a hurry to catch that flight to Phoenix.
UPDATE 3: On KTRK-13's 6:00 pm news, anchor Tom Koch reported that the Mayor's office contacted KTRK to dispute the use of the term "sanctuary" to describe HPD's policy banning officers from asking about immigration status. It's good to know the Mayor's communications shop has ITS priorities in order following the tragic death of a police officer!
