Texas Deputy Killed During Apparent Ambush
Texas Deputy Killed During Apparent Ambush
Published May 28, 2011
Undated photo of Bexar County Sheriff's Deputy Kenneth Vann.
A veteran Bexar County sheriff's deputy was fatally shot during an apparent ambush while waiting at a traffic light in his marked patrol vehicle early Saturday, according to the San Antonio Express.
Forty-five-year-old Sgt. Kenneth Vann was waiting at an intersection just after 2 a.m. Saturday when a small white vehicle pulled up next to him on the right side and started shooting through the front passenger window. Witnesses called police, who discovered Vann dead in the driver's seat.
"He did not have a chance to do anything, hit the emergency button on his radio, or even to defend himself. That car pulled up and started blasting, just like that. So where we are right now is that it looks like an ambush," Bexar County Deputy Chief Dale Bennett told the paper.
San Antonio police and U.S. marshals were following up on leads and conducting interviews. Authorities said they know of no motive for the attack.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Manuel Longoria told the Express that Vann was responding to a call for an accidental shooting.
One witness told authorities that she "heard two, separate real quick bursts" of gunfire a few seconds apart, according to the paper. She then saw the deputy's car roll into the intersection after the shooting.
Vann's wife is also a sergeant in the sheriff's office. He also had two sons and a daughter.
He was the first deputy killed in the line of duty in Bexar County since 2003.

This is very sad but I don't see where it has anything to do with illegal immigration. No suspects have been identified.

This is near San Antonio TX, only two hours away from bloody Nuevo Laredo.
This could be a cartel hit on one of our law enforcement officers.
This crime could be an act by those importing the illegals, meth, and cocaine into America.
Sounds like their modus operandi.

Bexar deputy is shot to death at traffic light
Officers mystified at reason behind ambush.

Despite having faced dangerous situations during his nearly 25 years as a sheriff's deputy, Sgt. Kenneth Gary Vann never needed his gun to defend himself.
Early Saturday, when he needed that weapon most, Vann didn't have the chance to ward off an unknown motorist who drove up beside his marked cruiser and fired repeatedly without warning, killing him.
Authorities said Vann, 48, was stopped at a red light on the East Side when someone ambushed him — an attack so sudden he was unable to reach for his weapon or call for help.

At least $25,000 is now being offered for information in connection with the slaying of a Bexar County Sheriff's Office sergeant ambushed on the East Side early Saturday, and Sheriff Amadeo Ortiz expects that amount to nearly double.
Sgt. Kenneth Vann, 48, was en route to a call for a shooting around 2 a.m. Saturday, when a small white car pulled up next to his marked patrol car at a red light at Loop 410 and Rigsby Avenue, officials said.
Shots were fired — likely from a high caliber semiautomatic weapon, according to Bexar County officials — out of the white car and struck the passenger-side windows of Vann's patrol car, killing him, officials said.
Witnesses called 911 immediately, according to the sheriff's office, but officials so far have no motives or suspects.
“It's a horrible moment for law enforcement here in Bexar County and across the state,â€NO AMNESTY
