But obviously the murder of three very high ranking law enforcement officials in the span of three months is a pretty chilling development for u.s. law enforcement. >> and of course the alleged killer of the prison chief in colorado was found in texas. >> right. and that will be something they will be looking at as what were his connections in texas. and also how long hes been out of prison, the last four years since being released from the colorado system, whats he been up to, who has he been w...

Taken by shock, fear, by whats happened here. so what were finding now obviously there will be extra security at the courthouse as it opens today. and even public officials, carol, theyre not taking chances. we know for instance in houston, texas, harris county, mike anderson, the d.a. there, he has taken an officer from the sheriffs office to have round the clock security to watch him and his family. one example of how public officials are not taking a chance here in the case that public offici...

Supremacist groups briefly a couple of weeks ago when there was a murder of a prison chief in colorado, and the suspect in this case that was later killed by police was linked to a white sue preliminar supremacist group inside a prison and he was chased to texas from colorado essentially. we are seeing a picture of the suspect who is now dead on the screen. and theres been some questions raised about what the possible connection could be between the murder in colorado and this in texas. how woul...

Colorado was connected to a white supremacist gang. why would a white supremacist gang target prosecutors or a prison chief? >> its hard to tell what motivated him to do that. its been reported that he made threats against various prison guards during his stay in the prison system in colorado. so it could have been in connection with that. or it could have been -- it could be unrelated to that. we just dont know at this point. and obviously with him dead, we probably may not ever know what the t...

Strings, may also be fairly thin-skinned. the sheriff commented about a month ago that he will go and he will pull out the person responsible from the hole and bring them back to their county and actually use the word, scum, and said, i hope youre watching this. and then, within a month the sheriff and his wife are murdered. so if the puppet master or people around him are thin-skinned that would certainly be a personality trait for this individual who is also possibly very vengeful or revengefu...

Possible. this is the 13th u.s. prosecutor that has been killed since the national association of district attorneys began keeping count back in the 1960s. the big questions now are about the investigation. authorities here are still very tight-lipped. not releasing hardly any information about it. all we know is that mike mclelland and his wife cynthia were found dead at their home saturday. the motive is still a mystery. there is a question about whether it could have been connected to that ot...

Authorities say that police thought there could be a link between hassey and even eric ebel. are they talking about that at all? >> well, this is one of those things that is just kind of swirling and hovering over all of these cases. when mark hassey was gunned down at the end of january, authorities were saying they were looking into some sort of white supremacist group. then after the colorado prison chief was murdered and the man that police suspect was behind those murders was captured in a ...
