3 dead in Starr County shooting; live grenade found

NEAR RIO GRANDE CITY — Starr County authorities discovered one live grenade, two dead men and a third man mortally injured after a shooting at a rural home Sunday morning.

Starr County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to a call of shots fired at a home on Rosario Street near North Alvarez Road at about 6:15 a.m. Sunday. Inside the house, they found two Honduran nationals shot to death with an assault rifle, and a third man with “severe trauma to the abdomen,” said Erasmo Rios Jr., a sheriff’s office investigator.

The third man was rushed to Starr County Memorial Hospital, but later died, Rios said.

Rios said investigators want to talk to 24-year-old Eduardo Moreno, of Starr County, who they consider a person of interest in the case.

“He was known to frequent the area,” Rios said, adding that Moreno is a U.S. citizen with a criminal history.

and a grenade too. Since there's no money to be made there, i doubt the nra will insist that having that is a constitutional right - unless it can be folded into a bullet.
