Pissed-off Texans react on social media to early morning 'Blue Alert'
Texans vented Friday morning on social media after being jolted awake by an early morning "Blue Alert" about a purported criminal incident in the Panhandle. Shortly before 5 a.m., Texas officials blasted out a bulletin to cell phones statewide that came with a full-volume alarm. The warnings, dubbed "Blue Alerts," were created in 2008 to help find suspects believed to have harmed law enforcement officers.
