Texas deputy killed during burglary
ROUND ROCK, Texas — A Texas sheriff’s deputy was shot and killed at his home north of Austin before dawn Monday in what authorities said appeared to be an attempted burglary. Sgt. Craig Hutchinson of the Travis County Sheriff’s Office used his police radio around 1:30 a.m. to report people prowling behind his house. Sheriff Greg Hamilton said at a news conference that no arrests have been made and that authorities were seeking an unknown number of suspects. Tensions remain high after the fatal shooting earlier this month of five police officers in Dallas and the ambush and killing of three law enforcement officers in Louisiana.
