Sheriff says Texas officer's gunshot wound was self-inflicted
LAREDO, Texas—A South Texas sheriff says a police officer whose body was found at a law enforcement shooting range had suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Webb County Sheriff Martin Cuellar (KWAY'-ahr) said Wednesday the gunshot wound to the chest of Lt. David Medina was "not consistent with foul play."
The Laredo Morning Times reports the findings are based on a preliminary investigation by the Webb County medical examiner's office.
Medina's body was found Tuesday at the shooting range by a U.S. Border Patrol agent. Authorities at the time didn't categorize the death as a suicide and said only that they weren't looking for any suspects.
