Multiple Armed Suspects Shot at Johnson County Officer, Hit the Officer in the Neck, Police Say

JOHNSON COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 5 – An Alvarado officer was ambushed and shot during a protest-related incident outside the ICE facility; eight suspects were arrested, some wearing body armor and masks, police said.

  • On Friday, July 4, Alvarado police responded around 10:56 p.m. to a suspicious person report near the Prairieland ICE Detention Center in Texas.
  • The call originated from reports that over twelve people wearing masks vandalized vehicles and security cameras while setting off fireworks to draw the attention of law enforcement.
  • When an officer approached a person who appeared armed, multiple suspects opened fire, striking the officer in the neck and causing him to be airlifted to a Fort Worth hospital.
  • Authorities apprehended eight suspects, some clad in body armor, as they attempted to escape, while the Justice Department, under the oversight of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, is actively monitoring this incident along with other assaults on DHS facilities.
  • The injured officer received medical care and was discharged, while officials emphasized a strict policy against attacks on federal personnel and vowed to pursue all legal actions against those accountable.
