who's at eight seven in Houston, on Gail DeLotter. Houston's FBI office says that shared all of its information on the July I shooting was state and local investigators. Multiple investigations are looking at the fiddle shooting of Lorenzo Salgado-Raho. The FBI said earlier it was looking to be alleged to sold on a federal officer. But FBI special agent in charge Jason Hudson says her investigation could also include the shooting. It's still an ongoing investigation, right? It is by no means closed at this point. So if through the review of evidence, there are other federal violations that are identified. And we are requested to do more, you know, more work. We absolutely will. Hudson was asked if his office has a name of the ISA agent who fired the fatal shots. He says that would come from the department of Homeland Security. The Houston Police Department is arresting more people from misdemeanor marijuana possession under Mayor Whitmire's administration.

Houston public media obtained data indicating there were about 35 arrests a year in the three years before Whitmire took office. That's now up to about 440 arrests a year. There's a local ballot proposition in November that calls on police to make marijuana possession less of a priority. But Union Police president, but police union president Douglas Griven says it's not needed. What you need to do is shut up and let law enforcement do their job. And you worry about trying to make sure people get rehab. Trust me, we have better things to do than worry about some pillied marijuana case. Organizers with the Progressive Advocacy Group Ground Game Texas collected about 40,000 signatures to get the proposition on the ballot. And you can see the marijuana arrest data at Houston Public Media dot org. There's baseball at Dijk and Park tonight as a Astros kick off a weekend series against Arizona Diamondbacks. First pitch is just after seven.

A slight chance of rain tonight overnight low should be around 79 degrees.
