	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.
