AUSTIN, TX –Today, following the tragic death of Houston Police officer Richard Martin, who was killed in the line of duty early this morning, Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX) released the following statement.

McCaul: "I am deeply saddened by the tragic and untimely death of Officer Martin. The brave men and women of our police departments who protect and serve our communities place their lives on the line every time they put on their uniforms. Police officers are not only the first line of defense against crime in our cities and towns, they also play an integral role in in stopping terrorism and protecting Americans. For this, we owe them a debt of gratitude. My thoughts and prayers are with Officer Martin's family and all of the Houston Police Department."
