KINNEY COUNTY, Texas—A 15-year-old was shot and injured during a traffic stop after he allegedly tried to run over a sheriff’s deputy early morning on May 9, according to Brad Coe, sheriff of Kinney County, a rural border county in south Texas.
The teen was smuggling five illegal aliens in his vehicle when he was stopped by Texas Department of Public Safety troopers and a sheriff’s deputy.
The teen is still in hospital.
“He’ll be there for a while,” Coe told The Epoch Times on May 11.
“We’re going to go ahead and file the charges for the smuggling and attempted capital murder. That will be our bargaining chip, to use that to say, ‘OK, we can reduce this if you tell us where you picked everybody up at. Let us know who you contacted,’ and on and on.”
