Texas police chief fatally shot during traffic stop for warrant for graffiti

Texas – The police chief in a small Texas town just southeast of San Antonio was fatally shot Saturday while conducting a traffic stop.

Bexar County Sheriff Susan Parmerleau told KABB-TV that Elmendorf Police Chief Michael Pimentel was shot after pulling over Joshua Lopez (picture), 24, to serve an active misdemeanour warrant for graffiti.

Parmerleau told The Associated Press that Lopez shot Pimentel several times. The chief was airlifted to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Lopez was taken into custody without incident, Parmerleau said, and will face a charge of capital murder for shooting a police officer. More
