Those employees are heros. I guess we all need to be ready to jump in at any time.

The news said that he was shot first in his vest and then in his neck.

I feel sick. I do not understand.

Blessings to his family and friends and the employees...and the family and friends of the shooter. :heart:

Rest in Peace, Jaime. :rose:
 
It's so sad and tragic :(

Apparently, the night of he has no memory. He was drinking tequila and taking xanax. I guess he woke up to a huge nightmare.

Mary O'Dell, of Colorado, told The Associated Press that when she spoke with Daniel in the hours before the incident, he had been taking the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and drinking tequila. She said he had been acting unusually in recent months.
O'Dell also said an attorney for Daniel told her that Daniel had no memory of the shooting. "He wasn't aware this whole particular incident had taken place; he was under the influence of tequila and Xanax," she said
 
Officer Padron’s accused killer to stand trial

On Tuesday morning, 10 women and 2 men will begin to weigh the fate of 26-year-old Brandon Daniel.

Brandon Daniel faces capital murder charges for the killing of Austin Police Officer Jaime Padron.

In April of 2012, Daniel was arrested in the death of Senior Austin Police Officer Jaime Padron who was responding to a disturbance call at the Wal-Mart on Parmer Lane. Employees called police and said Daniel was drunk and trying to steal from the store. When Padron arrived, police say Daniel tried to run and it led to a struggle between the two men. Padron was shot in the neck during the incident.

The defense is claiming that Brandon Daniel had just broken up with his girlfriend and was on Xanax, therefore he is not guilty.

After hearing gunshots: "We saw a lady come running out saying 'they are shooting in there, they are shooting in there!"

"It didn't seem serious at all. Being at Wal-Mart, you kinda see that stuff a lot." - McCarthy on Daniel's behavior.

McCarthy said a co-worker was suspicious of Daniel based on his actions. Told him to "keep an eye" on him. That co-worker then called police
 
Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi

McCarthy is done. Next is Lincoln, another Wal-Mart employee who pinned Daniel to the ground.

Looks like we are about to hear the 311 phone call LeMere made regarding Daniel.




Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
Lincoln LeMere called police that night. "We had a customer that appeared to be intoxicated." Said he called 311 to keep him from driving.
 
Hi Softail. I'll join you. Watching the live stream and trying to catch up.

YAY! :blowkiss:

This was a huge story when it happened. I remember watching his funeral, and bawling like a baby!

His defense is ridiculous IMO!
 
Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi

"I've got a customer who is drunker than Cooter Brown... He doesn't need to drive, but I can't really hold him here." -LeMere's 311 call.


:giggle: @ Cooter Brown!




Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi
LeMere says Padron arrived within 4-5 minutes of the 311 call. Says another employee was keeping an eye on Daniel in the store.
 
Chris Sadeghi @chrissadeghi

LeMere pointed Daniel out to Padron. Padron asked Daniel to stop, he wanted to ask him questions. At that time, Daniel took off running.
 
Hey Softtail! Thought I would follow ya over hear....but you must follow with me when Bashara trial begins :seeya:

Question: What is 311? I've never heard of 311. Is that specific to Texas? Enlighten me as I'm just reading tweets to catch up and already confussssssssssed on 311 reference.

TIA
