Home > News > General News Breaking news: Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland, wife reportedly found dead in home 879 60 0 6 AA Staff Photo/File 2013 Kaufman County District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife have been found fatally shot at their home. 1 of 2 Next Image FROM STAFF REPORTS Published: 30 March 2013 09:02 PM Related 2-9-13: Slain Kaufman County prosecutor Mark Hasse hailed at memorial service as champion of justice Kaufman Countys district attorney and his wife were found slain Saturday, raising fears their deaths may be part of a plot that included the slaying of an assistant district attorney in January. Kaufman Police Chief Chris Aulbaugh and other officials confirmed the reports that Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, had been shot at their home near Forney. Their deaths follow the Jan. 31 slaying of Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse. It is a shock, Aulbaugh said late Saturday. It was a shock with Mark Hasse, and now you can just imagine the double shock and until we know what happened, I really can't confirm that it's related but you always have to assume until it's proven otherwise. He said the Texas Rangers were helping with the investigation at the McLellands home in an unincorporated part of the county, but that the sheriffs department will be leading the investigation. Because have to treat it as related [to the Hasse investigation], we'll be working side by side again, Aulbaugh said. Authorities were also working Saturday night to confirm that other employees in the Kaufman County's district attorney's office were safe, and they believed that they had confirmed that everyone was accounted for.

“the local meth problem in Kaufman County is whats behind this, not necessarily the Mexican drug problem.”
Well, I’m up here in liberal yankee land, but I’m not sure there is some great wall between the local meth problems and the Mexican drug cartels, not in TX anyway.
I’m fairly sure the US is on track to become the largest third world nation in the West, I’m just glad I won’t live to see it.
Maybe we can still turn things around, but I’m not at all optimistic.
Texans need to get their act together. If criminals realize that they can murder law and court officials with impunity, then the future does not look good for that state.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I dont add you to the list...
(This list started out as the Breitbart ping list)...
Meth used to be a local problem. Mexicans are taking over the supply and distribution, while we are told the border is as secure as it ever was.
More reason than ever to have semi-auto rifles with magazines of standard 30 round capacity. If the Federal government won’t protect us, we will have to defend ourselves should that become necessary.
And it WILL become necessary. Always has, always will.
Has to be. I am in Dallas and this is huge news here. A lot of people saying this evening this is not only orchestrated but LEO believes there is an active hit list.
Wow...reminds me of the Matthews bunch a bit
I was working in Kaufman the other day. Parts of it reminded me of methville in the back roads of Mississippi and you go 5 blocks and there were beautiful homes. Starting Monday you are going to see squad cars parked in neighborhoods of all local D.A.’s homes.
Yes he was working on the Hasse case. He was very vocal about not resting until the people responsible for the murder were tried by Kaufman residents to the highest punishment possible of the law.
I’d sure hate to be his replacement in line.
Looks like every federal and state police agency is involved in investigating this case. Lotza police presence. Lotza traffic on the scanner in the area tonite. I think they are turning the screws on every source of info on the case to find out who did this.
All the local networks sources are saying the door was kicked in.
Plata o plomo
It is time to allow only one appeal for prisoners on death row.
According to a law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity, the door of the McLellands home appeared to have been kicked in.
It is an awful scene, and there are shell casings everywhere, the official said. This is unprecedented. This is unbelievable. This is huge.

I think we went through the full panoply of appeals back in the 50's, and arrest to execution took 3 to 4 years. Ultimately, we need to reinstate the kinds of things that worked back then.
How ‘bout knocking off the jokes, alright? People in my neck of the woods are dead here, and yes, it is serious.
We aren’t there already?
Trying to be funny? Really?!?
Agree. This is NOT a laughing thread.
At all.
