How sad. I wonder if the LEO was wearing a vest?

He was a friend of mine. I was one of the many McCamey VFD firefighters tasked with assisting law enforcement on this scene. It was a very sad day. It has been hard on this community.

Revenge on who?, he killed his victim.
And who has been telling you "shooter's family is seeking revenge and are headed this way"

I cannot discuss much of this right now. Just please pray for the family, law enforcement and McCamey.

So, so sad for the LEO and his family. My thoughts and prayers are with them. As TexanJoker stated, it seems to be a far too frequent occurrence these days, instead of an anomaly....

It seems that the Texas Rangers apprehended the son of the shooter before he made it here. Thank God.

So sorry for the family of the officer. Seems like ever more often I receive notifications from 100 Club about our LEO's losing their life.

I wish that the two news stations in the area would get their stories straight or at least on the same page.

The word we got from local LE was caught.

According to this particular news story, the assailant is not the finest model of upstanding citizenship. One of his former abodes was Huntsville Prison.
