I remember the assassinations of police, and other crazy violence, being on the news. I probably started noticing this in 1968, with that crazy election cycle, which included the RFK assassination, and the violence in Chicago, at the time of the Democratic convention. The Seventies were a DANGEROUS time to be a police officer. Houston was still wild and wooly, into the Eighties, when Houston was still an oil boom town, while the rest of the USA was in a recession. By the time I was sworn, in early 1984, the annual death rate among Houston PD officers had radically changed for the better.
I was lucky, serving from 1984 to 2018, just missing the deadly Seventies, and the insane Twenty-Twenties.

CMPD has been silent for the past 3 weeks on this and there have been no arrests. Thus, it does not appear that any shots were fired by the female occupants of the house. The initial reports sounded like the suspect engaged the team as they attempted to arrest him, was killed outside of his house, and then a 2-hour shootout ensued with occupants of the house.
Now, it seems most likely that Hughes did this by himself and entered/exited the house multiple time (perhaps to reload) before eventually being killed.
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.
