KELLYVILLE, Texas (AP) - A statewide search continues today for
a suspect in the overnight shooting death of a Texas Department of
Public Safety trooper in East Texas.
The DPS identifies the slain trooper as 39-year-old James Scott Burns.
A DPS statement says they're searching for 37-year-old Brandon
Wayne Robertson.
DPS spokeswoman Tela Mange (MANJ) said the shooting happened at
the end of a chase last night near a rural crossroads just west of
Kellyville, near Lake O' The Pines. A passer-by saw the wounded man
and used Burns' radio to report that he had been shot.
A DPS statement describes Robertson as white with green eyes and
red hair, 6 feet, 2 inches and weighing 250 pounds. Authorities are
looking for a 1997 blue Dodge Intrepid with Texas license 039-LCG.
Before Tuesday, 82 DPS troopers had died in the line of duty. The last death came on March 14, 2007.
