Granbury Shooting

[GlockOwner]

The news originally said the rifle was a fully automatic rifle, then about 10 minutes later said that witnesses were saying it was either semi or fully automatic. They just panned across the rifle on the news, and it looked to have a beta mag (or some other double drum mag) in it. Officers shot in Granbury - Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com

Lets think our comments through a little better please. Jokes like that might draw the wrong kind of attention.

 

[Pilgrim]

I believe we were quoting statements made in the recent media blitz. We couldn't come up with these gems on our own if we tried

Hood County deputy wounded in Granbury shooting dies | Dallasnews.com - News for Dallas, Texas - The Dallas Morning News

Reports are that the shooter was a gun dealer out of Burleson. He sexually assaulted a 16 year old girl and missed his court appearance. The deputy was dispatched to a disturbance and to serve a warrant for the shooter's arrest.

Don't know the details of the shooting, but the deputy was shot in the back of the head.

The deputy was 38, lived in Hico I believe and leaves behind a wife and two kids who are wheelchair bound.

RIP Officer Mclean

I heard the news last night the scheme the perp had to get to the 16yo. Terrible.

 

[Pilgrim]

Officer McLean seemed to be a great family man. I pray for his family. It's always a terrible tragedy when a good man falls victim to a criminal. A memorial account has been set up under the family name at First National Bank of Hico and Community Bank of Granbury.

"Johnson County Sheriff Bob Alford said a search of McCommas’ home Friday led to the seizure of “a little less than three dozen” firearms, including several semiautomatic rifles and handguns.

The sheriff said he was told that McCommas had a federal license to deal in guns.
Johnson County sheriff’s deputies, Texas Rangers and agents with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives found about 10,000 rounds of ammunition of various calibers, including .223, .308, 9 mm and .45, Alford said.
McCommas also had shell casings, bullets and gunpowder.
“Obviously, he was a reloader,” Alford said.
The search recovered a .308-caliber rifle that appeared capable of firing fully automatic, and ATF experts were trying to determine whether it could, he said.
Deputies also found a sound suppressor.
Both require special permits under the National Firearms Act of 1934. The sheriff said ATF agents were checking whether McCommas had such permits.
McCommas worked at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth from April 2004 to October 2012, said hospital spokeswoman Nikki Hall-Branch. She declined to disclose his position.
Robertson, the Joshua police chief, said her department was told that McCommas was terminated as a security guard last fall. She said another local law enforcement agency reported that he had used his security badge after his dismissal.
Authorities said they have found no criminal record for McCommas aside from the sexual assault charge.
Robertson is concerned that McCommas had so many guns, she said, but as far as she knows, he possessed them legally as a dealer.
Since he had not been convicted of any crimes, he did not have to surrender them."
