One person is in custody today after the shooting death of Brandon "James" Petree, of Killeen, Texas.

Petree was a campaign aide of "Doc" Pete Chambers.

The Killeen Police Department, which announced on Thursday that it was investigating the shooting that resulted in the death of Brandon James Petree, called the shooting a murder.

While no charges have been filed, KPD has detained a person in the shooting. That person is still in the city jail.

Wednesday, February 25 at around 10:20 PM, KPD officers were called about a shooting off Splawn Ranch Road and Zayden Drive in Killeen.

When officers got to the scene, they found Petree shot and unconscious in a nearby field. Petree died on scene, according to the KPD.

KPD reports that a 9-1-1 caller shared hearing arguing followed by multiple gunshots. KPD says one person has been detained in connection with this shooting.

Petree helped to organize a gubernatorial town hall Chambers hosted in Killeen in January.

“Doc” Pete Chambers, a retired U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel, Special Forces Green Beret, and physician, is running against long-time establishment favorite Texas Governor Greg Abbott.

Chambers, who is endorsed by Lt. General Michael Flynn, spent 30 years in service to his country, including multiple combat tours.

He organized one event and now he is being pegged as an “aide”.

You can bet the deep state is afraid of Pete Chambers.

They HAD to slyly tie Greg Abbot to this.

Grifter news.
They just couldn’t help including their favorite, all-time, champion and hero, Michael Flynn.
Like his endorsement means anything.

Is the fellow in jail “The Authority”, on a wet-works job?
