Masked gunmen opened fire during an illegal cockfight at a Texas ranch near the border with Mexico early Thursday, leaving three people dead and eight wounded, authorities said.
People attending the cockfight ran into the brush when shots rang out shortly after midnight at the rural property near La Blanca, about 15 miles northeast of McAllen. Hidalgo County Sheriff Lupe Trevino said officers are hunting for the gunmen.
Detectives and crime scene technicians picked over the site. The ground was littered with beer cans and cups near the low corrugated metal pavilion with wooden bleachers where the cockfights took place.
Cock Fighting is illegal. So is murder. Chances are the people shooting were prohibited people, either by past crime record, or the fact that they were in the country illegally.
Hey but if Texas required a background check for every gun sales, none of this would have happened, right?
Couldn’t have been illegals. They only come here for a better life. And to pick lettuce.
If they wanted a gun bad enough, they could just wait south of the border for Holder to deliver one to them.
