A Texas deputy constable was fatally shot in Houston while driving to work, with a person of interest detained.

The deputy, Maher Husseini, was shot at an intersection by a man who approached his vehicle and fired multiple times.

Husseini, who had been with the Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office since 2021, was not in uniform at the time of the shooting.

The suspect description led to a person of interest's detention in Galveston.

The motive for the shooting, whether the deputy was targeted, and the possibility of road rage are under investigation.

The community and law enforcement mourn the loss of a dedicated public servant.

An 11-year-old boy in Minden, Louisiana shot and killed the 82-year-old former mayor and his 31-year-old daughter, both found with multiple gunshot wounds.

Joe Cornelius Sr., a respected member of the community, had served on the city council and briefly as mayor.

The tragedy has deeply affected residents, with many expressing shock at the young boy's access to a gun.

Minden Mayor Nick Cox praised Cornelius' dedication to the town, as he was known for his community service and support.
