Texas District Attorney Third Law Official Killed in Weeks
A district attorney has been shot dead in Texas, the third justice official to be killed in the US in recent weeks.
Mike McLelland and his wife were found dead on Saturday in Kaufman County. Kaufman’s Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse was killed in January.
Last week a suspect in the killing of the head of Colorado’s department of corrections died in a shootout with police in Texas.
Authorities are investigating whether any of the cases may be linked.

No arrests have been made over Mr Hasse’s killing but police are reportedly looking into a link between his death and the killing on 19 March of Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements.
