According to Texas DPS , at 11 in the afternoon on October 3rd, the Memphis Police Chief, along with other officers, were dispatched to a residence to arrest Seth Altman for burglary.

Altman is accused of shooting the police chief multiple times before fleeing on foot from the scene. The following day, the 4th, a warrant was issued for Altman's arrest out of Hall County on charges of attempted capital murder of a peace officer.

Officials warn the public that Altman should be considered armed and dangerous, and contact with him is not advised.
