EDINBURG — A police shooting that stemmed from a botched drug transaction and kidnapping Sunday afternoon is being labeled the first reported incident of spillover violence in Hidalgo County by Sheriff Lupe Treviño.
While other law enforcement officials, such as Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw, call Hidalgo County the center of spillover violence in Texas, Treviño repeatedly disputes those claims and is quick to dispel talk about cartel-related attacks in the U.S.
But the circumstances surrounding Sunday’s shooting, in which a suspect was killed and a deputy was injured, were enough to make him “say it like it is.”
“I have to say … this is our very first reported spillover-violence event that we have experienced,” he said. “And unfortunately, it got one of our deputies shot.”
