Three charged in Williamson County plot to kill judge

On March 8, 2024, a violent incident occurred at the San Gabriel Crossing Apartments in Williamson County, where a woman was shot 11 times and her boyfriend was shot twice by an intruder. The attack left the community in shock, with residents expressing fear and concern for their safety. Following the incident, an investigation involving local police, the sheriff's office, and the FBI led to the arrest of three suspects who are now facing charges for the shootings. These individuals are also accused of plotting to kill a local judge, highlighting a disturbing trend of violence against judicial figures. This arrest comes amid growing concerns about the safety of judges, as evidenced by recent legislative efforts aimed at increasing their protection. U.S. Senator John Cornyn has emphasized the need for enhanced security measures, noting that judges and court personnel should not have to live in fear. The community, which had been on edge for six months, is relieved that the suspects have been apprehended, hoping for a return to normalcy in their quiet neighborhood. A press conference is scheduled for Wednesday to provide further updates on the investigation and the charges against the suspects.
