POSSIBLE SERIOUS ATTEMPT TO FREE PEOPLE FROM ICE FACILITY

An Alvarado, TX police officer was wounded in what MIGHT HAVE BEEN a serious attempt to break people out of an ICE detention facility there.

Just before 11 p.m. on the Fourth of July an Alvarado P D officer spotted a suspicious person hanging around the Prarieland Detention Facility on Sunflower Lane in Alvarado.  When the officer tried to speak with the suspicious person other people nearby opened fire on him.  The officer was hit in the neck but fortunately not seriously injured.

Responding officers arrested eight people at the scene.  Some were wearing body armor.  

Earlier that night about a dozen people wearing black and wearing masked vandalized security cameras and vehicles in the parking lot.

The FBI and DHS are aware of the situation and are monitoring the case, as well as others involving ICE detention facilities. 

It is possible some sort of an attempt was going to be made to get into the facility.  It is of course also possible they were just very well armed vandals who just happened to be wearing body armor.
