A Houston police cruiser struck and killed a pedestrian during a robbery pursuit Saturday afternoon, authorities said.
The two Houston police officers who were involved in the incident are said to be "distraught" after striking a 45-50 year-old man who has not yet been identified, Houston Police Department (HPD) executive assistant chief Larry Satterwhite said in a news conference Saturday.
"This is a tragic night and a man lost his life," Satterwhite said. "Our prayers are going out to our victim and his family. It is an absolute tragedy."
