CONROE, Texas – A Texas police officer died from injuries suffered when a tornado struck his home, according to the Conroe Police Department.
The department announced Friday on social media that Lt. James Waller, a 22-year veteran of the Conroe Police Department, died at a hospital where he was taken after the tornado struck his home in Trinity.
“After multiple surgeries, doctors determined his injuries were too severe to sustain life,” the post stated. “His family members were able to spend time with him before his passing.”
