Suspect shot following disturbance call in a local neighborhood

(Seguin) — Investigation continues into an officer shooting involving a pair of Seguin Police Officers late Friday night. Officials say the shooting was reported at approximately 11:40 pm.

Seguin Police responded to a disturbance involving multiple people with reports of a shot fired at a residence in the 300 block of Nagel Street. Upon arrival, two Seguin Police Officers encountered a male subject standing inside the doorway of a residence holding a handgun. The suspect was ordered multiple times to put the weapon down and he eventually complied. Moments later and before officers could secure the weapon, the suspect picked the handgun back up and pointed it at the officers. Two Seguin Officers fired and struck the suspect at least once.

Seguin Fire/EMS responded to the scene and transported the 30 year-old suspect to Ascension Seton Hays Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Charges are pending against the suspect.

The Texas Rangers responded to the scene and worked with SPD Detectives and the SPD Forensics Crime Scene team. Both officers have been placed on

administrative leave per standard procedure during the investigation. One officer has been with the Seguin Police Department for five years and the other for over one year. Officials say this is an ongoing investigation being conducted by the Seguin Police Department in coordination with the Texas Rangers.

Guadalupe County works to streamline family violence cases

JUDGE continued from page 1

“I think that it’s going to bring a lot of simplicity and clarity to the process for both the victims and the accused to get it done quickly. Throughout this pandemic or however we define it, the instances of domestic abuse and family violence have sky rocked. A lot of the abusers and the victims have been placed in close proximity with each other voluntarily or involuntary for the majority of this time and the instances of domestic abuse have gone up through the roof,” said Squires. Squires says not only is violence in the home difficult for families, but it also poses an even greater danger for law enforcement. “The instances of violence towards

law enforcement who have been responding to calls for domestic violence have been increasing. An FBI study has recently shown that the majority of cases or instances where law enforcement officers have been injured on the job have been those cases where they have been responding to a domestic violence call. Those are the cases that bring out the worse in people and are some of the most emotional cases,” said Squires.

Squires says he believes the impact court will do more than just bring justice to the victim. He says by streamlining the process, it could potentially break the cycle of violence for many families. “Now, unfortunately I can only handle these on a misdemeanor level for now.

Hopefully, I can expand the court if it is successful to bring on some higher level offenses but I will make this statement to the court and to those victims who are victims of domestic violence, ‘you are not alone’ and that is the one message that I think needs to carry clearly to those members of our community who are victims of domestic violence. That cycle can be broken and it can be broken with swift, tough justice and it can be done with less delay than what is occurring now,” said Squires. Judge Squires announced his plans for the formation of this new court during a recent meeting of the Guadalupe County Commissioners Court. During that meeting, the court also recognized the month of October at Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Navarro tops 80 points in third straight game, demolishes Austin-Achieve in Homecoming game

Jason McCrary scored his first touchdown of the season, hauling in a 38-yard pass from Nick Billings. James Brinsley found the end zone from two yards out after a fumble recovery by Andrew Guerra, Aden Supak scored from six yards away, and Mark Wozniak punched it in from the one to finish a drive on which he produced all 57 yards.

(Geronimo) - Navarro’s three-game stretch of exceptionally lopsided football is mercifully over after an 82-7 Homecoming win over AustinAchieve on Friday at Erwin-Lee Field.

The Panthers have outscored Manor-New Tech, Eastside Memorial, and Achieve by a combined total of 257-7 to move to 3-0 in District 14-4A-Division II and 5-2 overall. Navarro hosts district co-leader Wimberley this Friday with the district title and top playoff seed hanging in the balance.

Wozniak also came up with his second interception of the season, one of five turnovers forced by the Navarro defense. Brian Holmes blocked a punt that Keegan Pugh recovered in the end zone for a touchdown. Reed Fishbeck returned a fumble for a score. Tristan Brashears tackled Ben in the end zone for a safety. Sebastian Sneed nailed a 37-yard field goal and made all 11 of his PAT kicks.

The Panthers led 68-0 by halftime, and the final stats reflect their dominance. Navarro piled up 535 rushing yards on 31 carries. Achieve finished with minus-37 yards on the ground, and that includes a 90-yard touchdown run by tailback Lavante Ben late in the fourth quarter.

In the midst of the dominant win, the Panthers still gave the coaches plenty of teaching points to harp on with 10 penalties and two lost fumbles.

Navarro head coach Rod Blount stuck with his plan to keep the starters and top rotational players on the field for three quarters, for the sake of game conditioning going into the showdown with Wimberley.

Zeke Campos breaks free for a 68-yard touchdown run during Navarro’s Homecoming win over Austin-Achieve Friday night at Erwin-Lee Field. “That’s going to cost us in a big game,” Blount said. “We’ve got to get that cleaned up, we’ve “We’ve got to make sure that our guys are ready Photo by Jacqueline Springs. got to be more disciplined. It’s tough in games to go next week, because out starters are going to have to carry a lot heavier load than they have been, and I hope that we’ve done a good job preparing them and getting them ready for that,” Blount said.

85 yards for a touchdown, and he also broke loose for an 83-yard touchdown run as part of a team-best 121-yard night on just three carries.

Brody Whitson powered his way to an 87Sam Muniga returned the game’s opening kickoff yard rushing touchdown to finish with 107

yards on four carries.

Ben Muniga toted the ball six times for 85 yards, including a 44-yard score. Zeke Campos ripped through the Achieve defense for a 68-yard spring to the end zone.

like this, but we’re going to clean it up, we’re going to watch film and see what was going on, and make sure that our hands were right, and make sure that we’re between the whistles.”

The opening kickoff for Navarro and Wimberley is slated for 7:30 p.m. this Friday at Erwin-Lee Field.

CDC Projects Up To 240,000 COVID Deaths By Nov. 7

Georgia Extends COVID Restrictions Through End Of Month

Chris Christie Urges Mask Wearing After Coronavirus Hospitalization

Dentist COVID-19 Rates Reportedly Low In Spring

(Atlanta, GA) -- As many as 23-thousand more Americans could die from the coronavirus over the next four weeks. That’s according to the CDC’s updated ensemble forecast. It shows the U.S. death toll could reach 240-thousand by November 7th, just days after the presidential election. The projection comes as dozens of states have seen an uptick in new cases. The nation has over seven-point-nine million cases, the most in the world.

(Undated) -- Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is admitting he was wrong not to wear a mask after being hospitalized for the coronavirus. Christie caught the respiratory illness after attending a White House event and helping President Trump prepare for the first presidential debate, all without wearing a protective face covering. He tells The New York Times he ended up in the ICU for several days. Christie said he believed the White House was a safe zone, but he was wrong. He warned folks to mask up to protect themselves and others.

(Atlanta, GA) -- Georgia is extending coronavirus restrictions through Halloween. That’s an extra two weeks of a limit on gatherings and visits to senior care facilities. Governor Brian Kemp says it’s not time to take their “foot off the gas.” He first declared a public health emergency in March and it’s been continuously extended since then. Officials say they want to prevent a “twindemic” with COVID-19 and the flu.

(Undated) -- It looks like the COVID-19 rate among dentists was low during the spring. The American Dental Association published a report saying that less than one percent of dentists across the country had confirmed or probable cases of the virus. The study surveyed over two-thousand-dentists in June. It also found 99-point-seven percent of the dentists were using “enhanced infection control procedures” which includes patient screenings. Health experts continue to worry about dentists’ exposure to the virus given their proximity to patient’s mouths and the number of aerosols some procedures produce.

Through the years she and Udo enjoyed traveling to Europe, Mexico, Canada, Fiji, and throughout all of the forty-eight continental United States. Many times, these trips included polka dances, family vacations, and just enjoying this wonderful country.
