CENTERVILLE, Texas -- The manhunt for escaped inmate Gonzalo Lopez is over after investigators tracked him down Thursday in Atascosa County, more than 250 miles away from where the criminal initially escaped from a prison bus back on May 12. Investigators said they believe Lopez killed a Houston family, one adult and four kids.

The family's bodies were found Thursday inside of a getaway home in Leon County, which is the area where the inmate escaped more than three weeks ago. Leon County is roughly 116 miles north of Houston.

Hmmmmm, I wonder if he is a member of the NRA? If he is they would have the front page covered and along with the 6 pm news.

That is very unlikely. Being an honest, upright citizen, he followed all federal firearms laws and went to a federally licensed firearms store and filled out all the necessary paperwork, waited for his background check, and then waited the requisite waiting period. There is no way he would buy a black market weapon. No way. Nope.

Trust me on this.

Wouldn’t even use a fake ID or send in a straw man?

Of course not. He’s a fine, upstanding, honest, and thoroughly above-board law-abiding citizen. See, the gun laws work and nobody would violate them by using a fake ID or having a straw purchaser. He is too afraid of going to prison for violating those gun laws. So I’m 100% positive he used a legally purchased gun to murder that family.

If only the family had had a sign on their lawn stating “gun free zone”, this would take have happened. (Not making light of their deaths, but rather making the point that the lefts “gun free zones” are an asinine concept.

Note there is no information being shared about the family he murdered. Read 4 articles and nothing to identify them, not even the standard “names not released until notification of next of kin.”

Exactly! Gun laws work. This is proof. He was scared to death of going to prison for violating gun laws.

Tkats the house you hide in while the cops wait around for you to leave a trail of dead bodies to it so they can find you.

Wonder if the local police stood around outside the house while the family was calling 911 repeatedly for help.

They be working on it. Gun Control is one of their main points as how to control freedoms and society. Just taking a freedom away.

Watch out for automobile control. We all may be going back to horse/buggy, etc.

.....The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a division of the Department of Transportation, estimates 42,915 people died in motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2021, a 10.5% increase from the 38,824 fatalities in 2020. The deaths include pedestrians, cyclists and others who may have died during a crash.....
