HICO (AP) — Law enforcement officers from across the state converged by the hundreds on a small Central Texas town to pay tribute to a deputy cut down in the line of duty.
They joined friends, family and admirers in the football stadium in Hico to mourn Hood County sheriff’s Sgt. Lance McLean at his Monday funeral. McLean died Saturday, one day after police say Ricky Don McCommas shot him in the head. McCommas died in a gunfight with police outside Granbury City Hall shortly after shooting McLean.
