From @RASchuetz: Houston will not build a "city-sponsored encampment" as suggested by Mayor Whitmire.

Ok, storytellers. Let's talk about the hardest story I have done in years: Anatomy of a Crash. It's about a high-speed chase in which four teens ran from police until the kids crashed.
One teen died & another charged with murder. 3 people injured. Two cops punished 1/
