COPS MAKE ARREST IN SGT. KENNETH VANN MURDER

 COPS in San Antonio, Texas have nabbed the thug they say murdered one of their own. On Sunday afternoon, Mark Anthony Gonzales, 41, was arrested at his home in connection with the murder of Sgt. Kenneth Vann. On May 28, Vann was murdered in cold blood as he sat at a traffic light. The triggerman came up beside him and blasted away. Vann didn't even have time to draw his weapon.
The 48-year-old veteran's slaying stunned San Antonio as it appeared to be for no good reason
and a whopping $127,000 in reward money was raised.

Cops had been looking for the driver of a 2009 or later model royal blue crew cab Ford F150. Gonzales was at home with his wife and children when he was arrested. Investigators said anonymous tipster closed the deal. A similar weapon used to kill Vann was found in  the home.
Hundreds turned out for the memorial service of the deceased deputy, who had been on the force for 25 years. Vann was buried Friday at the cemetery at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Spring Branch.
Vann left behind three children and his wife, Yvonne, who is also a sergeant with the Bexar County Sheriff's Office.
Yvonne said last night:  “I know he'll get the death penalty, because that's what it calls for, and he'll get the death penalty as much as my husband did.”

TEXAS COP KENNETH VANN DIED IN HAIL OF BULLETS

A TEXAS cop was shot and killed in a cold-blooded ambush at a traffic light, according to published reports. Sgt. Kenneth Vann of the Bexar County Sheriff's Dept. was waiting at an intersection early Saturday when a white compact pulled up next to him  and started shooting through the front passenger window. He was found dead in the driver's seat. Chief Deputy Sheriff Manuel Longoria told the Express-News that Vann was responding to a call for an accidental shooting.
Deputy Chief Dale Bennett said: "He did not have a chance to do anything, hit the emergency button on his radio, or even to defend himself. That car pulled up and started blasting, just like that. So where we are right now is that it looks like an ambush."  
Cops say the 48-year-old police veteran died in a hail of bullets, likely from a high-caliber semiautomatic gun. Vann was hit nearly two dozen times.
Now, police in San Antonio have undertaken one of the area's biggest manhunts with more than 170 officers from a wide array of law enforcement agencies in a bid to nab the remorseless killer. So far police are saying little on a possible motive or any info on the killers. A $25,000 reward has been offered for any information leading to a capture.  Vann's wife is also a sergeant in the sheriff's office and he also had two sons and a daughter.COP KILLING IN TEXAS
