Texas district attorney, wife found dead at home, 2 months after assistant prosecutor killed

A central Texas prosecutor and his wife were found killed in their house two months after one of his assistants was gunned down near their office, authorities said.

Investigators found the bodies of Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, on Saturday, Kaufman County sheriff’s Lt. Justin Lewis said. Police, FBI agents, Texas Rangers and deputies were part of the investigation.

Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was shot to death in a parking lot a block from his office on Jan. 31. No arrests have been made in his death.

Lewis declined to say how the couple died or whether authorities believe their deaths are linked to Hasse’s. He wouldn’t provide further details. Kaufman County is 33 miles southeast of Dallas.

Kaufman Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh told The Dallas Morning News that the McLellands had been shot in their home and although investigators didn’t know if their deaths were related to Hasse’s killing, they couldn’t discount it.

“It is a shock,” Aulbaugh told the newspaper. “It was a shock with Mark Hasse, and now you can just imagine the double shock and until we know what happened, I really can’t confirm that it’s related but you always have to assume until it’s proven otherwise.”

OK what were they investigating? I can’t imaging the Texas Rangers will be happy about this...

Who has been recently indicted and not yet come to trial? Who is about to be indicted? Persons of interest.

An ADA and a DA are killed already this year... in a county not exactly heavily populated? Dude LEO...they are connected

Smells like Mexican Drug Cartels

You can bet it’s Mex. Cartels if they refuse to say who may be behind the killings. The big push for Illegal Alien Amnesty cannot be stalled with folks freaking about the Mex Drug Cartels

Mexican Cartels armed with Obamaguns via Fast+Furious.

Ironic that the biggest gun smuggler (Obama) is “calling for” citizens to surrender their guns.

He makes proclamations between smuggling guns to Drug Cartels and to his fellow Moslem Brotherhood terrorists.

Typical lying moslem.

You can’t reason with rabid dogs. Even the greatest of all liberal fictional characters, Atticus Finch in TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, knew that.

“Authorities have also been trying to determine whether Hasse’s killing was related to the murder of Tom Clements, Colorado’s prison director, last month.

The Colorado man implicated in Clements’ murder, Evan Ebel, was killed in a shootout with police in Texas two days after the killing.”

I wonder if we’ll ever find out if the weapon(s) were from F & F.

Texas had better check each persons case load, and who else worked on them.

Sounds like someone getting even after spending years in prison.

Does it bother anybody that the clown that murdered the Colorado State Prison official was headed to Dallas?

What else did he have in his notes, when he was shot?

I live in Kaufman county. It so happens that one on my friend's wife worked with the DA's wife at the Terrell State Hospital. She is in shock now as you might imagine. The Sheriff's Dept. is being very tight-lipped.

We heard that several ".223 casings" were recovered at the scene but there is very little in the way of factual information out there. Most believe that all of this is the work the Mexican cartels or the Aryan Brotherhood and all are shook up and scared.
