[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 3245053, member: 44288"] MISSION, Texas — A Texas police officer and a man with a lengthy criminal record were killed in an exchange of gunfire after the man's mother reported that her son had fired at her car, authorities said Friday. Mission Cpl. Jose Luis Espericueta and the suspect, 33-year-old Juan Carlos Chapa Jr., both died at the hospital with gunshot wounds after the shootout Thursday, police Chief Robert Dominguez said during a news conference.

Joey “Speedy” Espericueta (Photo/ Mission Police Department) Dominguez said the woman waved down a passing officer to notify police of her son's behavior. Espericueta and other officers later found the suspect walking along a road. Chapa fled but then turned and fired at the officers, striking the corporal. Espericueta, a 13-year veteran of the department, was married with two children. Dominguez, his voice breaking as he stood Friday alongside law officers from several other agencies, grew emotional in speaking of the messages of support for his department in the hours after Espericueta's death. "It is this type of relationship that we have as police officers that says a lot about what we do for our communities," said Dominguez, whose officers patrol a city of about 85,000 people in far South Texas, just west of McAllen.
