TGCSO: Despite Stated Charge, Woman Arrested for 'Attempted' Capital Murder of Peace Officer or Fireman

 

SAN ANGELO, TX - This evening, at 5:46 p.m., law enforcement arrested and booked 60-year-old Brenda Wright for Capital Murder of a Peace Officer or Fireman.

According to jail records, Wright is being held with no bond.

Although confirmation is pending, Wright may be associated with today's officer-involved shooting. The Tom Green County Appraisal District lists Wright as co-owner of the residence at 1205 E. 21st St., which caught fire today, and is the location where a man with a long gun confronted police.

San Angelo Police confirmed this evening that the suspect is in critical condition, and Texas Rangers are investigating this case. For our original story, click here.

Note: According to jail records, Wright was arrested on the stated charge; however, as stated in our previous story, SAPD confirmed no officers or firemen were injured; therefore, one can assume or infer this was "attempted." We will provide an update once more information becomes available from law enforcement. Please note the information below.
