A Conroe, Texas, police lieutenant died Friday, succumbing to grave injuries suffered when his home was struck by a tornado, the Conroe Police Department said Friday.
Lt. James "Jimmy" Waller was with his wife at their home in Trinity County on Sunday evening April 28 when an EF-1 tornado came through their neighborhood, destroying their home, Fox Weather reports.
Both Waller and his wife were severely injured and rushed to a local hospital. Waller underwent multiple surgeries throughout the week, but doctors determined his injuries were too severe to survive, according to the department.
The National Weather Service said the tornado was only on the ground for about a minute, stretching just over a quarter mile.
A GoFundMe has been set up for the family.
