A gunman who shot and killed a sheriff's deputy inside a mobile home in Southeast Texas was found dead in a bedroom was found dead after a daylong standoff.
Officials are trying to determine whether Gilbert Ortez Jr. shot himself or was shot by a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper during the standoff in the Baytown area.
Ortez was a former reserve police officer for the town of Kenefick.
Deputies went to a mobile home park Monday morning after a meter reader sent to shut off water service to a mobile home fled when a woman came out and opened fire.
Pamela Leggett was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and resisting arrest.
Authorities say Ortez also was at the mobile home at the time and fatally shot Deputy Shane Detwiler, 31, in the head.
Negotiators tried for hours to establish contact with Ortez without success.

Someone needs to proof read that first line
I used to live outside Kenefick, which is outside Dayton, near Houston. This guy was one of the Kenefick Fuzz, as they are called in the area.
Who is in charge of proofreading for this station? "A gunman who shot and killed a sheriff's deputy inside a mobile home in Southeast Texas WAS FOUND DEAD in a bedroom WAS FOUND DEAD after a daylong standoff." Does this mean the man and the bedroom were both dead? Please correct errors before posting. It's bad enough that the education system has been 'dumbed down' in order to 'leave no child behind.' The problem is that rather than leaving a few behind the others, we are holding back the average and gifted majority.
