range. execution style. all this, led investigators to think that this could be an organized crime hit. rumors are sweeping the town. talk of mexican drug cartels and prison gangs. we are open to every avenue right now. reporter: nbc s channel five in dallas covered the case from the beginning and the reporter ken kaltoff was there for it all. mexican drug cartels were suspect immediately because he had been involved in drug cases over the years. reporter: and investigators also suspected another group. less publically known but very dangerous. the arian brotherhood of texas. a prison gang of white supremists. why was this a group that b group that may have done this? there were rumors that said that they may want to get even with people in law enforcement. reporter: get even because
texas. i know nerves are frayed there. but how about people reacting to the suggestion that the poorest border may be the reason for these murders? well, carol, good morning. for many people here not that surprising, because illegal immigration and the border has long been a topic of discussion for governor rick perry. but keep in mind he did not comment on the other possibilities. the possibility that this could be somehow connected to the arian brotherhood of texas, the possibility that it could be connected to an inside job or even a hit for hire. we ve heard that. but from our sources, there are no real front runners in this. there s a lot of speculation under the sun. investigators are very tight-lipped about that investigation. and let s get up to speed on the very latest on this investigation. what we know so far, just the other day investigators held a news conference. they told us they made an arrest that is indirectly related to the murder case of mike mccell
ashley, on those other options out there. the question as to whether this could be an inside hit or a hit for hire. we ve heard that from people as well. but there are no frontrunners. just a lot of speculation. and these investigators here, they are very tight-lipped about anything. just the other day, they held their second news conference. the second time they ve addressed the media, and really the concerns about what s happening here. they did indicate that they have many new tips coming in. and that is good news, but did not give any insight into where this case is cite now. so forgive me if i m somewhat mixed up and maybe even viewers are wondering what is going on in the united states when we start our program with a story about 211 gang members sought in connection with the colorado prison chief. and then we hear about the arian brotherhood of texas, another prison gang looked at in the killing of the prosecutors in the state where you are, in texas.
we ve got public officials down in the southwest, two prosecutors killed. another one pulling out of a case against the arian brotherhood of texas for security reasons. a prison official gunned down in colorado. this second amendment remedy is no longer the crazy talk, talking about an odd duck senate candidate in nevada. second amendment remedies are what you do when you don t like public officials, you shoot them. now you have the remedy law enforcement has been calling for. to pass sensible gun safety legislation that would have reasonable penalties for straw purchasers. and make trafficking and guns, illegal guns a felony. they re begging for this law. we should pass it and give them the tools to do their job. why would anybody oppose that? we ve already said we re not going to do assault weapons p we re not going to do magazines. we re not going to do background checks. why would anyone oppose the secondhand buying, when you buy a gun for a crook totally dishonestly and illega
other people are beginning to act that way. we haven t had these cases closed out west. you ve got a prosecutor pulling herself out of a case against the arian brotherhood of texas. you can bet none of those characters ever voted for obama. you ve got people on the hard right out there. what are we doing now? how far do we have to go with this before you people in the congress say to the people like boehner, you guys cannot hold office if you don t let people vote? we will be saying that. but fortunately we have a revolution every two years. we can shoot at the ballot box and elect people that are going to support gun safety and reasonable gun safety measures. i support the second amendment. none of the bills before congress in any way hinder the second amendment. or the right of law-abiding people to own guns. it s going after criminals. it s going after traffickers. it s going after those who want to purchase assault weapons that aren t used to kill animals, they re just used to mo
