Prosecutor Shot, Killed Walking to Courthouse
Authorities are searching for the gunman who killed Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse in a parking lot near the county courthouse.
More information into the fatal shooting of Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney Mark Hasse may be released Friday.
The Kaufman Police Department plans to hold a press conference at 10 a.m. to update the public on the investigation. NBC 5 will carry that conference live online within this story.
Hasse was gunned down Thursday morning in what appears to be a targeted attack, police say. The prosecutor was shot multiple times while walking from the parking lot toward the county courthouse at about 8 a.m., officials said. He was transported to a nearby hospital, where he later died.
When asked if Hasse appeared to have been targeted by his attacker, Kaufman County Sheriff David Byrnes said: "I would say from all appearances it is, but we have no concrete information on that. We're pursuing every avenue right now."
Chris Aulbaugh, the Kaufman chief of police, said no official arrests have been made in connection with the shooting. Police are following up on several leads, including multiple witness reports from various angles around the crime scene, he said.
Multiple agencies are working with the Kaufman police, including the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, FBI, the Texas Rangers and state troopers from the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Police said witnesses have reported two shooters wearing all black, one or both of them possibly wearing a tactical-type vest, and driving an older, silver Ford Taurus. Aulbaugh said they have not yet confirmed that there were two people involved in the shooting and if the shooter(s) were wearing a tactical jacket as described.
A reward of at least $34,000 from Kaufman County Crime Stoppers and other sources is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the gunman. Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins said he would match that reward as well.
Anyone with information is asked to call Kaufman County Crime Stoppers at 1-877-TIPS-KCC. As always, tipsters may remain anonymous.
