Hill County Constable Shot During High-Speed Chase
A Hill County constable is recovering after he was shot during a high-speed chase Thursday, May 13, that involved multiple law enforcement agencies.
The chase reportedly began locally when authorities were attempting to apprehend suspects wanted by the Dallas Police Department.
According to reports, Precinct 4 Constable Kevin Cordell was attempting to stop the suspects as they entered Interstate 35 near Itasca when one of the suspects opened fire on the constable’s vehicle.
One of those bullets reportedly went through the windshield and struck the constable in the head before exiting his neck.
Cordell was transported from the scene by Hill County Emergency Management Coordinator Tom Hemrick and then taken to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth by CareFlite.
