Update - “Sources say Daniels’ ripped off the officer’s body camera after the shooting, but the camera was found around 10:30 p.m.”
As cops were searching cars, a gun was found. It didn’t say if it was the gun used or a random one.
Gov. Abbott issued a statement of sympathy for the officer and sent DPS to assist (aka take over).

That’s good news. Things like trying to destroy and hide the evidence shows an awareness that he knew right from wrong. No insanity defense. That’s gonna help this POS get the needle.
Thanks for the update, had not seen it.
Horrible crime.
I’m relieved they captured him without others injured or killed.
When I was a freshman in a dorm at the University of Kentucky, the son of the mayor of Louisville was also there. He showed porn movies in the dorm and got caught once he started charging admission. He had a trunk full of porn photos in his car. I dont know what happened to him. This was in 1967.
I went to college with Jimmy Carter’s nephew. He went to visit his uncle but got stoned on the way to the WH. Going to the WH high is sometimes referred to as “doing a Willie Nelson”.
Looks like the star of a knucklehead movie.
He’s the “TTU Kid”
He did say he effed up and did something illogical.
Smarter than he looks.
