Details are just coming in. Eyewitness News 4 has a crew en route to the scene. Tune in to Eyewitness News 4 and refresh this page at KOBTV.com for the latest on this developing story.
Uh-oh Billy the Kid is on the loose again.
Interesting they don't mention who or what was killed? A couple, a man, woman, child?
Captain, there can not have been a murder on my ranch. Murder is illogical.
They can't be talking about Hondo, TX can they? We don't have state police here and I'm purty darn shure we ain't got no Lincoln County.
Did Sam and Cokie have a spat?
It was George Stephonopolis. He was visiting the ranch for the July 4 holiday.
No, it's in New Mexico. They have a Hondo too.
Dead 'mule' ?
Oh I am sooo relieved, the WABC radio news keeps assuring me that Sam and his wife are unharmed.
His ranch is in New Mexico where he raises government-subsidized goats.
"Hondo" or Arroyo Hondo? That could be next door to me!
False alarm. Nowhere near me. I didn't think he'd be hangin' in Rummy's hood.
If the hairpiece doesn't fit, you must acquit.....
I had a Hondo once, too. CB360 Twin.......

"If the dress is a mess, you must confess"
(does not apply to this thread- I just think it is funny)
I saw the movie Hondo.

The ranch is near Roswell, NM. Maybe they found an alien.
