Former Houston police officer charged
HOUSTON (AP) — A former Houston police officer has been charged with murder in connection with the January drug raid of a home that killed a couple and injured five officers, prosecutors announced Friday. Former officer Gerald Goines, who was shot in the ensuing gunfight during the Jan. 28 raid , is charged with felony murder after police accused him of lying in a search warrant about having a confidential informant buying heroin at the home. Another former officer was charged with tampering with a government record. Both were expected to surrender later Friday afternoon, District Attorney Kim Ogg said. The evidence will be presented to a grand jury in coming weeks.
