HOUSTON — On Thursday, the Harris County Sheriff’s Office identified the deputy who was shot Wednesday during a traffic stop.
The sheriff’s office said Deputy Joseph Anderson remains in critical, but stable condition after undergoing surgery.
A suspect – 34-year-old Terran Green -- remains on the run and there is an active Blue Alert in effect. Investigators originally named another suspect in the case, but interviewed and released him.
At this point, we don’t know a lot about Deputy Anderson, but according to Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, he is 29 years old and has been with the sheriff’s office for one year and three months. Commissioner Adrian Garcia told KHOU 11's Gerald Harris that Anderson has a twin brother and he is engaged to be married.
As we learn more about Deputy Anderson, we'll post it here.
