WALLER, Texas - The Waller County District Attorney is responding to the investigation where six cyclists were run over by a teen driving a pickup truck last month.

District Attorney Elton Mathis says there has been community speculation about the way the incident was handled, because of the driver's connections to Waller city officials.
