One person was killed and two were injured Thursday afternoon in a shootout inside a Slaton house during a burglary, Lubbock County’s sheriff said.
Sheriff Kelly Rowe said investigators believed the shooting started when 69-year-old Fred Melcher and 51-year-old Edith Ayers entered Melcher’s Slaton house and found a man they likely knew inside just before 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the 1400 block of Lynn Street.
Rowe said investigators believe the suspected burglar, whose name was not released, fired several shots and Melcher fired at least one shot in return, likely the shot that killed the suspect.
Melcher and Ayers were taken by ambulance to University Medical Center in Lubbock, where they remained in critical and serious condition, respectively, late Thursday.
