PRESIDIO COUNTY, Texas (WEAR) — A Pensacola doctor is recovering after he and another person were attacked while on a hunting trip in Texas.
The incident occurred while Edwin Roberts and several others were at the Circle Dug Ranch, which is 10 miles North West of Candelaria, Texas on Friday around 9:30 p.m.
Chief Deputy Joel Nunez said he responded to a call “of shots fired, multiple shooters and two individuals severely injured”.
Edwin Roberts, a chiropractor in Pensacola, was shot once in the arm according to his family. Reports indicate Walker Daughtry was in the abdomen.
Channel 3 News spoke to Presidio County Sheriff Danny Dominquez. He would not elaborate on how the shooting happened or release any details on the case since it is still under investigation.
In a news release, Sheriff Dominquez did mention the attack was allegedly not linked to “cross border violence”.
Presidio Sheriff’s Department, the Texas Rangers and the Texas Department of Public Safety are investigating. The U.S. Border Patrol also responded to the scene.
Roberts, 54, was rushed to El Paso University Medical Center. He’s has undergone a second surgery.
Walker, 26, was flown via helicopter to El Paso for a gunshot to the abdomen.
According to a Go Fund Me account for Walker Daugherty, it states "they were involved in a shootout with some illegals, when the illegals tried to steal Walker's .. RV with them still inside" Ashely Boggs, Daugherty's girlfriend said.
The Circle Dug Ranch sits on 20,000 acres and is located in a mountainous area in Presidio County, Texas.
Edwin Roberts is a longtime business owner of Pensacola. He owns A Chiropractic Tradition, which is located on Mobile Highway.
Anyone see this on ANY of the national networks tonight? Fox? Breitbart? Savage? Aside fromthe reports on the various hunting forums, I personally have seen nothing.
Why?
Makes me think that there might be more to this story than has come out ... The press and media are many things, but they're not ones to shy away from juicy stories. Border patrol and local LEs are saying there's no evidence of it being border related and then the family releases a vague press release through an odd little ranching association website. Not saying that it isn't or is, but it's certainly odd.Anyone see this on ANY of the national networks tonight? Fox? Breitbart? Savage?

There's a strong political agenda in this country that has it in a stranglehold....painting illegals in a bad light and wanting us to have apathy for hunters is very counter active to that agenda. That's my suspicion.Anyone see this on ANY of the national networks tonight? Fox? Breitbart? Savage? Aside fromthe reports on the various hunting forums, I personally have seen nothing.

Very well could be more to the story. I still have my suspicions outside of this incident.Yup. Only facts at this point are that two men were taken to the hospital with gunshot wounds, their account of things is pretty over-the-top (and directly related to their efforts to raise money), and the responding local law enforcement and border patrol officials don't believe them.
I tend to lean towards local LEs and agencies, they know what's going on in their backyard more than a chiro from florida and a rancher/guide from 400 miles away. Sure there's crazy shit that happens, but until there's more evidence, there's not much to go on ...Very well could be more to the story. I still have my suspicions outside of this incident.
