And then there were three dead in Kaufman County.

Kaufman County’s district attorney and his wife were found slain Saturday, raising fears that their deaths may be part of a plot that included the death of one of the county’s assistant district attorneys in January.

...Their deaths followed the Jan. 31 slaying of Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse.

...In December, the Texas Department of Public Safety had issued a statewide bulletin warning that authorities had received “credible information” that the Aryan Brotherhood was “actively planning retaliation against law enforcement officials” who helped secure indictments in Houston against dozens of members, including the gang’s leadership.

“High ranking members … are involved in issuing orders to inflict ‘mass casualties or death’ to law enforcement officials who were involved in cases where Aryan Brotherhood of Texas are facing life sentences or the death penalty,” the bulletin stated.

That's not saying this is the work of the Aryan Brotherhood yet, but something is going bad wrong in Texas.

1. Something nefarious is going on--these DA deaths are likely related. nt

2. They confirmed that both were shot with what appears to be an assault rifle.

The DA had multiple gunshot wounds and the wife only had one wound.

3. The story has someone describing shells all over the place.

Someone's about to go down hard for this one.

I didn't realize it was just over a week ago they announced they were looking into ties with the 211 prison gang. I hope they get this shut down quick before it gets even worse.

5. My sister lives in that sub-division

about 2 blocks from the DA's home.

They moved out there because they thought it was safer than living in Dallas County.



Sadly, there's still a lot of racism in that part of the state. It would not surprise me if the Aryan Nations gang was involved.
