The Texas family killed by an escaped inmate was identified as a 66-year-old man and his four grandchildren, authorities said.
Atascosa County Sheriff David Soward said law enforcement spotted the truck and followed it, staying behind so as to not alert him of their presence. Officers with Jourdanton police then used spike strips to flatten the truck's tires.
"He exited his truck. He fired additional rounds. At least four officers returned fire at the suspect," who was killed, Soward said. Lopez was killed about 220 miles southwest of Centerville, Texas, near where officials said Lopez killed a Houston family of five at their weekend cabin and stole their pickup truck.Gonzalo Lopez was thought to be hiding in the vicinity of a Centerville cabin when officers received a call from someone concerned after not hearing from an elderly relative, Jason Clark said.
Crain went on to say the family respects the Texas Rangers' investigation, though he said they're eager for answers about how the escaped inmate ended up on their Centerville property after they were told by law enforcement that it had been searched and cleared. The Tomball school district, located in suburban Houston, on Friday said the four minors killed were students in its district and the adult was their grandfather.
