Texas DA & Wife Killed: Others In Hiding

(Before It's News)

Kaufman County, Texas prosecutor Mike McLelland and his wife were gunned down in their homes Saturday night, nearly two months to the exact day after his top assistant was gunned down on his way to work back in January. According to the Dallas News, officials are worried that this might be a part of some type of 'plot' while we also have learned that one former Kaufman County prosecutor was "in hiding" Saturday evening and said others were as well. The former assistant DA gunned down in January 'feared for his life' according to the two video news reports about the deaths of each of these men down below.

Kaufman County’s district attorney and his wife were found slain Saturday, raising fears that their deaths may be part of a plot that included the death of one of the county’s assistant district attorneys in January.

McLelland had vowed to catch former assistant DA Mark Hasse's killers, recently saying, "I hope that the people that did this are watching. Because we're very confident that we're going to find you, pull you out of whatever hole you're in, bring you back and let the people of Kaufman County prosecute you to the fullest extent of the law." More below.

At the current moment, FBI and the Texas Rangers are handling this case; they also were still in the process of investigating the killing of Mark Hasse.

According to a post on a public forum by a  Kaufman County resident, the place has recently been a very unpleasant place to live with tensions so thick you could cut them with a knife. With prosecutors going into hiding and two recent killings, it sounds like something that needs to be examined much more closely. The theories range from drug cartels on the loose to a Child Protective Service cover-up according to linked public forum and the linked blog, KaufmanCountyCorruption. Any ideas? Here's one of them from a Kaufman County resident.:

"I live in Kaufman county and I can speak on behalf of friends and family who learned of this just before 10 pm.....We are tired of what is going on in our town and believe me there is SOMETHING going on around here. We are very sad that there are five grown childten of Mr. and Mrs. McLelland who have lost both of their parents tonight.

We do not know what is going on around here but there is a bad vibe all around. Besides the assasinations of two Kaufman County DAttorneyws we have had a sudden increase in brazen armed robberies by two bandana wearing masked men in the last three weeks!!"
