Press Release from the Grayson County Sheriff’s Office

On August 31, 2020, at approximately 1:00 pm, Grayson County Sheriff Deputies responded to the 300 Block of Red Road in Howe, Texas in reference to a shooting/burglary which had taken place. Upon arrival, Deputies were advised of the complainant observing his son’s home being burglarized and property being taken out of the home and placed in a vehicle that did not belong to the complainant’s son. As the alleged suspects were leaving the home in the vehicle, the complainant fired several rounds at the fleeing vehicle and struck one of the alleged suspects in the leg. The alleged suspects drove to Wilson N. Jones Hospital where one of the alleged suspects was treated for non-life-threatening injuries. There has been one arrest made in this case at the time of publication. The case is ongoing.

Since 2015, Cavender Home Theater and the Howe Area Chamber of Commerce have treated Howe to an ice cream social in the downtown area. Due to COVID-19, some changes will be made for tonight’s event which will take place on O’Connell Street, a street over to the north from downtown. It will begin at 6:30 pm next to Summit Gardens.

This year’s ice cream will be served not in a bowl, but in a wrapper. Chris Cavender, owner of Cavender Home Theater usually serves ice cream from containers of Blue Bell, however, tonight he and his staff will be handing the tasty treats through the car window as it is a “drive-thru” ice cream social “distancing.”

There will be many options for those who want to drive through O’Connell Street such as Snickers, Klondike bars, Blue Bell cups, Drumsticks, and much more.

The Howe Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes everyone and invites individuals to join the chamber for $25 annually and businesses to join $75 annually. The chamber supports their members and Cavender Home Theater was a charter member in the reformation of the chamber in 2015.
