RICHARDSON, Texas (AP) – Investigators allege that a 26-year-old man charged in the shooting death of a Richardson police officer said he “wanted to go to war with the police” who confronted him last month at an apartment complex.
A police affidavit released Thursday asserts that Brandon McCall expressed his intentions in phone calls he made from the Collin County jail following his arrest.
McCall was charged with capital murder in the aftermath of the Feb. 7 shooting at the Richardson complex. He was charged Thursday with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Officer David Sherrard was shot twice when he rushed into an apartment to confront McCall.
McCall is accused of shooting his friend, Rene Gamez, who later died of his wounds, that same day.
An attorney for McCall said they’ll respond to the allegations in court.
