Two Concho County Deputies Killed In Shootout

Two Concho County deputies are dead and an Eden city employee wounded after a shooting in Concho County last night.

Texas Department of Public Safety says the three had gone to a house on a dog complaint when the gunfire broke out.

"Our hearts are broken over the senseless murder of two Concho County Sheriff’s Deputies who were gunned down in the line of duty. This terrible loss is a solemn reminder of the risks our brave law enforcement officers face while protecting our communities," said Governor Greg Abbott. "The State of Texas is prepared to provide any assistance needed to support the Concho County community and bring the perpetrator of this heinous crime to justice. Cecilia and I ask our fellow Texans to join us in prayer for the families, friends, and colleagues of these brave Sheriff’s deputies."

Nicholas Jeffrey is under arrest in connection with the killings.
