I passed that area twice today. The news kept saying that an officer had been run down, but was not in danger. I'm so sorry. Hutto is very small town. I'm sure everybody knew him.

I knew the back county roads between Hutto and Georgetown well since it was within my "rolling" territory as a college student.
