McAllen, TX – Two McAllen Police department officers were murdered in the line of duty Saturday afternoon.
The incident started as a disturbance call, according to The Monitor.
Authorities believe that officers were “ambushed” when they arrived, The Monitor reported. The suspect was also shot in the gunfight. The condition of the suspect has not been released.
It was initially reported that officers were transported to local hospitals, according to KRGV.
McAllen Police Chief Victor Rodriguez has since confirmed that the officers died, releasing the message, “We have lost two brave public servants who sought only to keep peace in our City.”
No further details about the incident have been released at this time.
Bump
Enough. The left has gone too far.
Between this, the fires at the two churches (FL & CA), and the stabbings on the NYC subway, it has been an awful day from coast to coast.
Amen.
TIME
If only a social worker answered that call.... (sarc)
And the cities want to replace these brave men with social workers.
At some point even the liberals have to see what they have done.

I agree,I have a son who is a police officer.
..
Is this tied to the Iranians sneaking across the border?
>>Speaking during a news conference held at the scene of the shooting, Rodriguez identified the fallen policemen as officers Edelmiro Garza, 35, and Ismael Chavez, 39.
Garza had more than eight years of experience as an officer with the McAllen Police Department, while Chavez had more than two.
According to Rodriguez, the officers answered a disturbance call in the vicinity of the 3500 block of Queta Street at about 3:30 p.m. Saturday, initially meeting two individuals who reported assaults occurring inside a nearby home.
When officers tried to enter the home, the alleged shooter, whom police identified as 23-year-old Audon Ignacio Camarillo, opened fire.
“They were doing their job,” Rodriguez said. “That is what they were supposed to do. The person was a suspect of the incident, met our officers at the door, and shot at both officers. Both officers suffered fatal wounds, they have both passed away as a result…
“The officers never had a chance to suspect deadly assault on them, much less death.”
Public records indicate Camarillo had a few run-ins with police beginning in 2016 to his most recent arrest last month on assault charges.
Additional details about the domestic disturbance Garza and Chavez responded to remain unclear. Rodriguez did say, however, that the ambush was so sudden that fellow police officers didn’t learn of their deaths until they drove through the area moments later.<<

That was in Del Rio.
.
I don’t know how they do it. Going to work each day knowing it could be your last day on earth. God watch over them.
I saw the press conference by the police chief, looks like this guy shot himself when other officers arrived. He’s caused trouble before. I just wonder if he was here legally.
The Left went too far long ago.
Nobody seemed to care. In fact, the media egged them on and chastised anyone who tried to stop them.
Thanks.
What a shame.
That's right, and now ....,oh never mind.
More blood on Pelosi’s hands.
