I wonder if that is true? Let's hope there is some evidence at the crime scene that will shed light on what happened.

How about this?

Minutes later, police say 32-year-old Damacio Torres dropped 28-year-old Alvaro Cardona off at a hospital emergency room with a gunshot wound to the face.

It's kind of hard to shoot somebody in the face if they are running away.

I agree.. This sounds very fishy.. And the recent debate on immigration have some people going nuts with fear.

More info is needed.

Why are the police/DA in such a hurry to prosecute the good guy (who might not have been justified in using deadly force, depending on what the investigation reveals), but not the bad guys (who already confessed)?

Priorities. F---ed up world we live in.

Because when someone is sitting around doing nothing it burns taxpayer dollars.

Cases involving illegal immigrants take time to do because of all the international crap involved. Meanwhile the gun nut has a much more clear paperwork path ahead.

If he killed those two and buried them in his backyard I'd be much happier about the story. Of course, I wouldn't even know about it!!

I think we don't know the whole story yet. Sounds all a bit fishy.

It has been known that people in a car can look backwards. Especially when someone is shooting at them. We just don't know what happened yet.

I think we need to let the police collect the evidence and the judicial system evaluate it before we, here, can make any opinions

A bullet hole was reported in the back of the truck.
(Not a good sign).

I wonder if there was a grassy knoll in the area.

It's intersting to see the picture altered as new facts emmerge.
