Hood County Sheriff's deputies responded to a disturbance call in the Oak Trail Shores subdivision on Lake Granbury at around 10:50 this morning. By some accounts, it was a criminal trespass call.
According to a Texas Highway Patrol spokesman, deputies encountered 60-year-old Richard Randall McComas and exchanged gunfire at a house on Edgecliff Court. One deputy was struck in the head and is in critical condition. McComas fled.
The other deputy put out a description of his white Chevy van with shot-out windows, which was at that moment headed some nine miles southeast from the subdivision to downtown Granbury. When he arrived, police blocked Randall's van in the town square. He pulled into a parking lot at city hall and opened fire with what police Chief Mitch Galvan described as an "assault rifle-type weapon," according to Hood County News.
"Bullets were coming from all directions and I was wanting to look around and my daughter said, 'No, Mom, no! You're gonna get hit!'" a witness told HCN. "So we just watched it all. It was like Bonnie and Clyde. I've never seen nothing like it."

Hood County sheriff’s sergeant dies from injuries during Friday shootout
Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds said Sgt. Lance McLean died at around 11:45 a.m. Saturday from massive brain injuries suffered from a gunshot wound the day before.
McLean was responding to a criminal trespassing call when he was shot in the back of the head by Ricky Don McCommas, 49, who was supposed to have appeared in court that morning for a hearing related to a pending sexual assault of a child charge.
McLean was shot soon after he got out of his car, Deeds said. He was taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth and held on life support until Saturday morning.
Deeds called the death a huge loss for the department and the community.
