THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS FOR THE FAMILY OF LITTLE RIVER ACADEMY POLICE
CHIEF LEE DIXON
(Mr. CARTER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
[[Page H5594]]
Mr. CARTER. Mr. Speaker, last night, tragedy struck a small town in
central Texas. Little River Academy is a very small town outside of the
largest town of Temple in Bell County, Texas.
The chief of police, Lee Dixon, was killed in the line of duty while
responding to a routine disturbance. There is an investigation ongoing,
and I am confident, as a former judge and having personal knowledge of
the judiciary of that county and the makeup of the juries, that justice
will be served in this case.
I ask this House to keep the family of Chief Lee Dixon in their
thoughts and prayers as they go through this time in a very small, but
important town, in Bell County, Texas.
