Houston Police are investigating after someone vandalized a billboard sign that said, “Pray for Israel’. The sign is located on the Southwest Freeway near Bissonnet.

A man charged with attempted murder who escaped from a psychiatric hospital in Oregon while fully shackled was arrested after he was found floundering in a muddy pond.

Houston City officials named Thursday a Day of Pray. Mayor Sylvester Turner asked Houstonians, wherever they may be, to collectively stop and observe a moment of silence or say a prayer at noon on Thursday. “Wherever you are at noon, say a prayer for our city, and our country, say a prayer for your family or just pause for a moment of silent meditation,” Turner said in a news briefing Sunday.
