Arriving Officers found most persons uncooperative, but one citizens did provide information to Officers. Officers located at least 10 spent 9mm shell casings at the scene. We were told someone was shot in the foot, but as of this post a victim has not been located. If you have information about this incident please contact our department at 903-983-1559 or you can submit an anonymous tip via text message to the Kilgore Police Department, text KILGORE and your tip to847411 (tip411). Officers continue to hand out crime prevention cards on vehicles throughout the city in which they find valuables in plain view. With your assistance we have greatly reduced the number of vehicle burglaries in the city. We are close to reducing the amount of burglaries by 30% during a twelve month period! We received compliments on several Officers, but they have not yet been identified. Officer(s) changed the tire of an elderly person on I-20. In another show of service an Officer notified an elderly citizen of her broken brake lamp, but the Officer went even further and followed her home and changed it out. Our motto is Serving our Community, and staff certainly lives up to that motto. Have a blessed week.
