Three killed in Saltillo home shooting, suspect a former Texas police officer
A gun attack on a residence in the Antonio Cárdenas colonia of Saltillo, Coahuila, left three people dead and a woman injured. Police say the assault may have stemmed from a neighbor dispute. Early reports identified a suspect who lives in the United States and is a former police officer from San Antonio, Texas. After the shooting, the suspect fled the scene with a three‑year‑old child, heading toward the international bridge between Piedras Negras, Mexico, and Eagle Pass, Texas. Border police intercepted the vehicle and arrested him before he could cross. The injured woman, the ex‑spouse of the suspect, received critical care at a hospital. Authorities are gathering evidence and testimonies to determine responsibility and motive.
The investigation involves municipal police, the state prosecutor's office, and federal agencies on both sides of the border. No official motive has been confirmed, and the case remains open pending further forensic analysis and legal proceedings.
