I don't know what the details are about this story, but I read it and thought, dang! Don't mess in Texas:

A man holding a woman hostage in a north Harris County trailer was fatally shot by Harris County sheriff's deputies Wednesday evening.

Deputies were called to the 1400 block of Aldine Mail Route about 5:45 p.m. and found the man holding the woman at gunpoint, said Harris County sheriff's Lt. John Denholm. The man was shot after pointing the weapon at deputies, he said.

The woman was not injured and the incident remains under investigation.

Save the taxpayers the trouble of a trial. Glad the police have good aim.
