HOUSTON (AP) — Funer al services for Houston police officer Alberto Vasquez, who was shot by a 19-year-old he was in the process of arresting on drug charges, were cut short Saturday when a tree fell less than 2 feet from the tent his family,was sitting under. “Ladies and gentleman, we ask that you leave. You are putting yourselves at risk by stay ing,” an officer said after light ning hit the tree and sent those nearby scrambling for safety. But family members huddled even closer as rain continued to pummel the blue tent. Officers attending the funeral used their night sticks to relieve some of the water’s weight and keep it from collapsing on Vasquez’s flag-covered casket. A priest quickly blessed the casket, hug ging Vasquez’s widow, Patricia, who cried as she tightly grasped a picture of her slain husband. Vasquez, a Houston police officer for seven years, and offi cer Enrique Duharte-Tur, were both shot while working securi ty at a Houston apartment com plex Tuesday night. Police spokesman Robert Hurst said Alex Adams opened fire as the officers attempted to arrest him and four others on drug charges at fche Natchez House Apartment Homes in southwest Houston. Adams has been charged with Vasquez’s death and attempted capital murder for wounding « Take a piece of my brother into your heart and use it everyday.” — Ben Dennis slain officer's brother shot Duharte-Tur, who t twice in the chest. Authorities say Vasquez and Duharte-Tur were leading three of the drug suspects to the apart ment complex’s leasing office while two other officers fol lowed behind with Adams and another person when Adams pulled out a handgun and fired. On Saturday, Duharte-Tur remained in serious conditional Ben Taub General Hospital. Vasquez became the second law enforcement officer in Harris County to be killed in less than 16 hours Tuesday. Sheriffs deputy Joseph N. Dennis was gunned down as he tried to arrest Jesus Flores near his parent’s northwest Harris County home for damage done to his sister’s car. Flores was arrested after a nine-hour manhunt and charged with capital murder. Funeral services for Denni: took place on Friday with those in attendance remembering hiir. as an unassuming man andi role model. “Take a piece of my brother into your heart and use it even day,” Ben Dennis said of hi brother.

Change is coming to that his toric sweep of the National Mall. It will be altered by the dream of thousands of World War II veterans. Soon, there will be a memorial to their effort at the heart of it. A decade-long struggle was ended decisively by Congress last week with a vote to place the memorial plans outside the nor mal regulatory process, effective ly overriding all resistance. Veterans are dying, about 1,100 each day, President George W. Bush has noted. “It is time to give them the memo rial they deserve.” Opponents argued that the mall should remain open and untouched, so that future gener ations can protest the govern ment in the tradition of Martin Luther King. Some also de scribed the memorial design as gaudy, or authoritarian. T he controversy, which has put some veterans on opposing sides, may endure as part of the memorial’s legacy. “It is time to put all of this in the past and do right by our hon ored dead and the veterans that are still with us,” said Michael Conley, speaking for memorial planners. “It is almost unforgiv able that we have no place in Washington that honors those who fought in a war that gave us our modern identity as a na tion.” Back across the bow: “We could have memorial ized World War II in a place that would not have defaced the National Mall, which is a his toric symbol of our nation’s democracy,” said 79-year-old World War II veteran George Peabody, who allied with the Coalition to Save Our Mall. “I will never feel good about this.” Peabody and other veterans who condemn the memorial inurderinga also say the design has left the: the team wa: wanting.
