The shooting investigation in a Friendswood apartment complex raises concerns about safety in the greater Houston area. Given Houston's proximity to Friendswood, residents of the small incorporated city of Houston, surrounded by the larger city, may be wondering about the potential impact on their own community. As the Houston Police Department works to determine the circumstances of the shooting, local residents should be aware of the resources available to them, including the Houston Independent School District's safety protocols and emergency response plans.
