Deputy James Boyd Shot at Traffic Stop, Montague County, Texas, March 21, 2013
Montague County Sheriff's Deputy James Boyd was shot during a traffic stop on U.S. 287 in Montague County, Texas, on March 21, 2013. The driver, Evan Spencer Ebel, 28, fired as Boyd leaned toward the window of a black Cadillac with Colorado plates. Boyd was hit three times, twice in the chest and once in the head. His protective vest stopped the chest rounds. He survived, underwent rehabilitation and returned to work. Ebel fled south into Wise County, firing at pursuing officers during a chase of about 35 miles. In Decatur, a semi struck the Cadillac broadside at U.S. 380. Ebel got out and fired at deputies, who returned fire. He was wounded and died. Dashcam video recorded the traffic stop, pursuit, collision and ensuing gunfight. A Wise County grand jury later found the deputies' shooting justified. Investigators said the same gun had been used two days earlier to kill Colorado prisons chief Tom Clements at his home near Monument, Colorado. Ebel died before any charge was filed.
