Clarakore Posted February 20, 2017 #1 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Quote Two men who were shot in Texas last month and had blamed immigrants crossing the border with Mexico were actually shot by members of their own hunting party, according to an indictment issued last week. Walker Daugherty and Edwin Roberts were wounded in the incident on January 6, The Associated Press reported. Daugherty and his fiancee told police they were shot by undocumented immigrants from Mexico, per CBS 7 in Odessa, Texas. However, the station said police now believe Daugherty actually shot Roberts and another member of the party, Michael Bryant, shot Daugherty. “There were no bullet casings or projectiles from weapons other than those belonging to the individuals hunting on the ranch nor in the RV belonging to the hunting party,” the sheriff’s department told Big Bend Now last month. ... Daugherty, who is uninsured, raised $26,300 on GoFundMe to pay for his care. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/hunter-shooting-texas-border_us_58aa7eeae4b037d17d292817?ncid=APPLENEWS00001 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarakore Posted February 20, 2017 Author #2 Share Posted February 20, 2017 Quote Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominguez told Odessa television KOSA that a grand jury indicted Michael Bryant and Walker Daugherty last week on charges of using deadly conduct by discharging firearms in the direction of others. ... The men were part of a group of hunters and told authorities they were attacked by people who had illegally crossed the nearby border and tried to steal an RV some of the hunters were using. ... The hunters' claim became fodder for a Facebook post by Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller, who wrote the attack was another reason why a wall must be built to secure the Texas border to halt "violent criminals and members of drug cartels coming in." ... Dominguez at the time suggested the agriculture commissioner "needs to do his job and stick to that, and I'll do my job." Miller has attracted attention for his social media posts, and his comments about the West Texas shooting were shared more than 6,500 times before being deleted. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/02/19/hunters-charged-in-texas-shooting-had-blamed-immigrants.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
