Texas: A Richardson police officer was injured Thursday evening after a gun went off while making an arrest, police say. 

According to police, officers were called at about 7:52 p.m. to a business in the 1500 block of East Belt Line Road in response to a woman screaming that someone was trying to kill her. 

Upon arrival, the woman reportedly ran into the roadway immediately and police determined she was suffering a "psychotic break," police said. 

Police soon detained the woman in the roadway and put her in handcuffs, officials say, but she reportedly continued resisting. As they tried to put her into a police vehicle, she reportedly grabbed an officer's gun and caused it to go off.

The gunshot impacted the ground near the three officers trying to detain her, police say, and one officer reported minor injuries. However, police say the bullet didn't hit the officer.

That officer was taken to a hospital for treatment and was later released, police say.

Please join us in sending prayers and, or positive thoughts for his recovery. 🙏🏽

Caltrans crews have been working tirelessly all night long, side by side, riding through the storm to clear the roads. And they’re not done yet—they are continuing into the morning to make sure the highways are safe for travel.

The  storm has tapered off, but let’s all do our part: slow down, drive cautiously, and give Caltrans plows plenty of space so they can work safely and efficiently.

Prayers for the Bedford police officer who was shot in the line of duty overnight. 🙏🏻

A police officer for the Bedford NH Police Department was shot during a struggle with suspect.

The officer was checking on a vehicle at a construction site near the Country Inn and Suites on South River Road just before 1 a.m., and there were potentially two people in the vehicle. After a short interaction, the officer was heard over the radio asking for assistance at the construction site next to the hotel. A short time after, an ambulance was requested.

"During a struggle with one officer, a gun was discharged when the suspect attempted to remove it from the officer's holster," according to a Bedford police spokesperson.

Officers on the scene provided immediate first aid to the injured officer. The injured officer was transported to a Manchester hospital with what are believed to be non-life-threatening injuries.

Another two police officers have been shot in the last 24 hours, as we are off to a bad start in 2025.

Please keep the Orange County (IN) Deputy and Bedford (NH) Officer in your thoughts and prayers.

Thankfully both officers are expected to recover from their injuries.

As police officers we accept that our job is dangerous and that we may not come home to our families, but the War on Cops in America has escalated that danger beyond reason…we have all had enough!
