Witness: Man angered by Texas deputies in yard killed them
EDEN, Texas (AP) — A West Texas man accused of fatally shooting two sheriff’s deputies was angry they were in his yard trying to catch a dog and he told them he would open fire if they didn’t leave, a witness said.
“They walked up towards him, rushed him, and he pulled a gun, and shots were fired,” David Hutchings told the San Angelo Standard-Times.
The shooting happened Monday evening in Eden, a city of about 1,300 people roughly 210 miles (340 kilometers) southwest of Dallas. Officials say Concho County deputies Stephen Jones and Samuel Leonard were killed and city employee Ronnie Winans was injured.
DPS said Wednesday that Nicholas opened fire on Jones and Leonard after they “made contact” with him while responding to a dog complaint.
Officials have said little else about what happened before the shooting, which is being investigated by the Texas Rangers. Jeffrey Nicholas, 28, is jailed in nearby Tom Green County Detention Center on two charges of capital murder of a peace officer.
Hutchings, a city employee who helps with animal control, told the newspaper that the officers were helping city employees collect two dogs that had bitten someone earlier in the day.
The deputies had already caught one of the dogs and the other one ran into Nicholas’ yard. Hutchings said Nicholas did not own either animal.
Nicholas told the deputies they couldn’t enter his yard to get the dog, then that they should “get off his property” and that he “has his civil rights,” Hutchings said.
He said Nicholas told the deputies that he would shoot them, and then opened fire.
Hutchins said Winans, who is his boss, was shot in the stomach when a bullet went through door of a city pickup. DPS said Wednesday that Winans was in stable condition.
The funeral for Leonard is set for Monday, Jones’ funeral is set for Wednesday.

I think that's considered defunding the police

Jeffrey Nicholas is the man accused of killing two Concho County Sheriff’s Deputies and injuring an Eden City employee dispatched to speak with him about a dog complaint, according to a statement from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The two deputies were accompanied by an Eden City employee when they arrived at Nicholas’ home at about 8:40 p.m. Monday, May 10. Officials said in a statement released Tuesday morning, May 11, that the situation quickly turned violent, saying “an altercation occurred which quickly escalated to gunfire.”
The deputies were identified as Sgt. Stephen Jones, 34, and Deputy Samuel Leonard, 26. They were both married fathers with young children. Jones had five children and would have celebrated his 16-year wedding anniversary in less than three weeks. Leonard had a little girl named Magnolia. He was married in 2017. The Concho County Sheriff’s Office is collecting donations for the families of both deputies, they wrote in a Facebook post.
Neighbors told San Angelo Live they witnessed police telling Nicholas to get out of his vehicle before he fled and allegedly opened fire. The Eden City employee suffered critical injuries.
Here’s what you need to know:
1. Nicholas Surrendered to the Eden City Mayor, a Neighbor, & Witnesses Recounted the Police Chase, Standoff & Shooting Scene to Local Reporters
Eden City Mayor Pete Torres was among the eyewitnesses to the deadly shooting and convinced Nicholas to surrender after about 30 minutes barricaded in his home, according to San Angelo Live. Torres lives around the corner from the crime scene, the news station reported.
Several witnesses recounted the scene to the news outlet. One witness said the deadly situation began when officers conducted a traffic stop on Nicholas near his home. A witness told the news station they heard police say “Roll your window down and then put up your hands.” The witness said the driver fled, running into his home nearby.
It didn’t take long for the incident to turn fatal. The witness told the news outlet they heard nine or 10 gunshots with “people shooting back and forth.”
Another witness reported hearing the suspect yelling “Those aren’t my dogs. You are always harassing me and tasing me,” according to San Angelo Live.
Nicholas then shouted about his Constitutional Rights, witnesses told the news outlet.
Neighbors told reporters there are six dogs in the neighborhood “that are vicious that control the neighborhood.”
Residents throughout the small town changed their profile pictures to honor the fallen officers.

I wonder if he had a counterfeit twenty dollar bill on him.

If you snorted a big rail of fentanyl and jumped off the roof of an 8 story building and I shot you in the head with a rifle before you hit the ground should I be charged with anything?

What's the law on resisting? He should have followed the law officers orders right? If he was detained by the cops and ran into his house the laws on trespassing do not matter.

oswald's was an easy shot. that car was moving at walking speed. now, diving off an 8 story building, would be an entirely different shot.CaptQuint wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 3:56 pmDid you give one to Oswald?Animal wrote: ↑Thu May 13, 2021 3:55 pmif you did that with a rifle, you would probably get some kind of a marksman medal in texas.

Technically, you committed murder.
Neither the drugs nor the fall had killed him prior to you shooting him.
Was his death inevitable, of course. Will a prosecutor bring charges against you?
That's a discretionary call.

Re: Witness: Man angered by Texas deputies in yard killed them
It's a little different for the police. They can enter without a warrant in a range of circumstances, even to your private home. It's broader in your yard which they can see into from a public place. Here they could see the dangerous dog, an emergency situation, and went to get it. Fairly sure they're fine, other than having been shot dead. I think the homeowner is going to be pretty fucked. Rarely a good idea to shoot two police officers, even if you do think you can sue them in civil court for a civil rights violation.

8 or 10 shots heard. Sounds like those cops needed more range time.
