A small, spotted dog ran playfully in and out of a yard where just a day earlier two men died in a gruesome shootout.
The shy animal Monday morning played with the
crime scene tape put up Sunday night by investigators who had responded
to a shootout at a home near the intersection of Sioux Road and Mariposa
Drive.
Hidalgo County sheriff’s
deputies responding to calls of shots fired found one man in the roadway
with two gunshot wounds to the torso and a second man inside a house
with two shots to the head, Sheriff Lupe Treviño said.
Preliminary information shows
that the two deceased men had contacted the homeowner about buying
roosters from him, Treviño said. The two men arrived at the house and
spoke with the homeowner and a houseguest, but then something sparked an
altercation and the two individuals pulled out handguns while the
homeowner went inside and got his own handgun, the sheriff said.
After the shooting, the two men who had gone to the home were dead, while the homeowner and the houseguest were unharmed.
At the scene, investigators
recovered three handguns, including at least one revolver and one
semi-automatic, and were conducting ballistics testing on them.
