RIP

RIP

RIP

Prayers to their families and friends

Even small towns can't escape the plague!

Never ending.

RIP...horrible!

Prayers

Started as a dog dispute

What a shame

Too bad they convinced the POS coward to surrender instead of ending it then and there and saving the tax payers millions of dollars and many years to give him a lethal dose!

Damn, that is sad.

RIP Heroes!

I saw the headline on the national news, but did not read it. That is right up the road from me. Meth, and who knows what else, is rampant out here. God's Peace to their families. Rest in Peace Officers. There are no words for your sacrifice.

And yeah, that mayor may not get reelected.

Terrible and senseless, Matthew 5:4

Amen.

R.I.P. Officers

Two deputies killed in Concho County shootout overnight

EDEN — Two Concho County sheriff's deputies were killed in a shootout in Eden on Monday night, according to police reports.

At approximately 8:40 p.m., the deputies were dispatched to the 100 block of Bryan Street for a dog complaint. An Eden city employee also arrived at the house.

While making contact with an individual at the residence, an altercation occurred which quickly escalated to gunfire, according to Sergeant Justin Baker with the Texas Highway Patrol.

As a result, the two deputies were fatally wounded and the city employee was critically wounded.

The investigation is ingoing and a more detailed statement will be released in the near future, Baker said.

The suspect has been identified as Jeffrey Nicholas, 28, who was booked in Tom Green County Jail for capital murder of a police officer. His bond has been set at $4 million.

Eden mayor Pete Torres, who lives near the suspect's home, helped convince him to surrender after a standoff that lasted about 30 minutes, according to KTXS-TV in Abilene.

The officers' deaths occurred during National Police Week, which serves as a way to remember those lost or injured in the line of duty and to recognize the sacrifices made by those who choose law enforcement as an occupation.


This is a developing story. Updates will be posted as information becomes available.

Sucks

RIP

Drugs.

RIP

Four law enforcement officers have been killed this week and others wounded.

So looks like the POS that shot the two sheriff’s deputies was angry because they were in his yard trying to catch a dog and he told them he would open fire if they didn’t leave. Let him fry

Yep. Even worse than originally reported. Tragic and senseless.

Eden is a normal stop and place to visit on my way from Hext to San Angelo. Dang good folks there.
Indeed, tragic and senseless.

We went through there Thursday, it was like there was a fog setting on that entire town just seeing everyone go through the motions at the gas station and whatnot. One of those deputies was at every paint rock function I went to helping out however he could. Really sad deal

Quit booking these punks, just end them while escaping, in a shootout, cause they always run. No, reporter, this unit didn't have body cams.
