R E S O L U T I O N
         WHEREAS, Officer Ronald Cronin of the Dallas Police
  Department demonstrated exceptional courage in the line of duty on
  July 25, 2022, when he risked his life to apprehend an armed suspect
  at Dallas Love Field Airport; and
         WHEREAS, A 15-year veteran of the department, Officer Cronin
  was assigned to surveil the ticketing area at the airport, which was
  occupied by more than 100 people that morning; at around 11 a.m., he
  observed a woman causing a disturbance at one of the ticketing
  counters; just as Officer Cronin was using his radio to request
  backup, the suspect pulled out a handgun and began firing rounds
  into the air; and
         WHEREAS, After taking cover, Officer Cronin witnessed the
  suspect continue to fire her weapon into the air, placing airport
  patrons in danger; acting without hesitation, he discharged his
  weapon at the suspect, immobilizing her and preventing the incident
  from escalating; he then rendered emergency aid to the wounded
  suspect, who survived and was taken into custody, as other officers
  arrived to secure the scene; and
         WHEREAS, Officer Ronald Cronin distinguished himself through
  his efforts to bring a dangerous suspect to justice, and he is
  indeed deserving of recognition for his tremendous bravery and his
  unwavering resolve to keep his community safe; now, therefore, be
  it
         RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas
  Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby commend Officer Ronald
  Cronin for his heroic actions in apprehending an armed suspect on
  July 25, 2022, and extend to him sincere best wishes for the future;
  and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
  prepared for Officer Cronin as an expression of high regard by the
  Texas House of Representatives.
