A Texas sheriff says a deputy who was shot in the foot while investigating a report of an illegal deer hunting site was wounded when his spare weapon malfunctioned and discharged without warning. Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said Thursday that the concealed backup gun was in a holster and strapped to the deputy when it fired. Fowler says Monday's shooting remains under investigation and deputies were still seeking a trespasser seen on the private property.

A National Guard member arrested on a sexual assault charge while serving on the U.S.-Mexico border lost his job as a county jailer last year after being arrested for drunken driving.

The sheriff fired Ontiveros one month after he was arrested for driving while intoxicated, accusing him of crashing his car while drunk and lying about it to police and investigators.

Their anger is all over social media for the whole world to see, with rants about minorities, relationships gone bad or paranoid delusions about perceived slights.
The perpetrators of mass shootings often provide a treasure trove of insight into their violent tendencies, but the information is not always seen by law enforcement until after the violence is carried out. In addition, rants and hate speech rarely factor into whether someone passes a background check to buy guns.

Federal, state and local law enforcement officials are teaming up with their Mexican counterparts and taking part in a three-day border security training. The operation includes helping law enforcement officials south of the border with investigative tools to combat criminal organizations. "Because of the very complex nature of the criminal threats we face today, it requires law enforcement around the world to cooperate, and so events like these are helpful in helping us to build relationships," said Stephen Kam, assistant special agent in charge of the San Antonio field office of the FBI in McAllen, Texas. This is the second year the training has been held, and law enforcement officials expect to continue it for years to come.

 Many of us often carry around biases that we don’t even realize. They’re ingrained in us from how we grew up, who our parents are, and from the societal and cultural norms that have been feeding us. As a result, when it comes to equality in the workplace, many of us feel like things are pretty good. In fact, almost half of men and a third of women agree that a mere 10 percent of female senior-level executives is a sufficient amount, according to the 2017 Women in the Workplace study.
