(CNN) — Two months ago, a Texas district attorney vowed to put away the “scum” who had killed one of his top deputies.
Now, the district attorney and his wife are dead. And authorities aren’t sure whether their killings are part of a broader scheme targeting criminal justice officials.
The bodies of Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were found Saturday in their home in Kaufman County, east of Dallas.
“I don’t know of anyone who would want to cause him harm,” Kaufman city Mayor William Fortner said. “As far as I could tell, he was doing a really good job as a district attorney.”
Fortner said police are taking “extra precautions” to try to ensure no one else is targeted.
