3 killed in 2 incident spree March 30, 2013: Assassination of DA Mike McLelland District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were apparently targeted when murdered in their Dallas-area home by the same gunman after Eric Williams just two months after he gunned down Marke Hasse, one of McLelland's deputies, and two weeks after Colorado prisons director Tom Clements was murdered at his home in unconnected attack. McLelland was part of a multi-agency task force that indicted 34 members of the Aryan Brotherhood in October. Hasse was shot to death outside the county courthouse shortly after officials were warned of a revenge plot by members of the gang. McLelland openly considered the possibility that Hasse was murdered because of his department's work, and reportedly decided to carry a gun around for personal protection. Eric and Kim Williams both face capital murder charges. Suspect Eric Williams who was arrested was a once-respected local attorney and former justice of the peace. His wife, Kim Williams,she confessed that her husband shot Hasse and the McLellands and that she drove with him to both murders. She led police to a lake where a gun used in shooting Mark Hasse was found. The motive for Eric Williams was retribution after Hasse and District Attorney Mike McLelland prosecuted him for the theft of county equipment

McLelland was part of a multi-agency task force that indicted 34 members of the Aryan Brotherhood in October. Hasse was shot to death outside the county courthouse shortly after officials were warned of a revenge plot by members of the gang.
McLelland openly considered the possibility that Hasse was murdered because of his department's work, and reportedly decided to carry a gun around for personal protection. "We put some real dents in the Aryan Brotherhood around here in the past year," McLelland told The Associated Press shortly before his murder.

Months of work on Kaufman DA killings ended with arrest of man suspected at the beginning
Published: 21 April 2013
Eric Williams, a once-respected local attorney and former justice of the peace, is in the Kaufman County Jail on capital murder charges. His wife, Kim Williams, a near-recluse afflicted by chronic and disabling illnesses, also is behind bars there. Authorities say she confessed that her husband shot Hasse and the McLellands and that she drove with him to both murders.
Both could face the death penalty.
After Hasse was killed on Jan. 31, many law enforcement officials thought that Williams might be responsible. That included McLelland.
Why wasn’t more attention focused on Williams after Hasse was shot?
McLelland’s office accused Williams of stealing three county computer monitors within a year. Williams faced charges of theft by a public servant and burglary.
Williams denied the accusations. He claimed he’d wanted the monitors to set up a “video magistration” system so he could arraign defendants from his office. And he unsuccessfully tried to block McLelland from prosecuting the case.
Hasse told that judge that “this guy’s got to go to prison.” The judge disagreed. He sentenced Williams to two years’ probation. But Williams paid a heavy price for the conviction.
He was removed as JP. He lost his county salary and his health benefits. He lost his law license and the income he earned as an attorney. And he could no longer be a regular or reserve police officer, something he’d done for more than two decades....Eric Williams was convicted and sentenced in April 2012
The Ranger and the deputy were allowed into the couple’s brown and tan brick home in Kaufman, a Christmas wreath still hanging on the door, on April 11. The Ranger spotted several weapons parts, including rifle stocks for assault rifles that fired the same kind of cartridge used to kill the McLellands. He also saw packaging for .357-caliber revolvers, a weapon capable of shooting the kind of bullets that killed Hasse.
Authorities returned to the Williams home the next day with a search warrant. Among the items they seized were “multiple cellphones,” night vision goggles, tactical boots, a “balaclava-type mask,” several parts for weapons “capable of firing .223-caliber ammunition like that used in the McLelland murders” and two .357 revolvers.
Williams also was arrested for making a “terroristic threat.” Authorities said that Williams sent an email anonymously to county officials one day after the McLelland murders promising another attack if demands were not met.

.Mark Hasse
Kaufman County prosecutor killings a tale of politics, grudges and revenge
There was a time when the assassination of a public official in Kaufman County was about as likely as finding a glacier.Murders of any kind are rare in this mostly rural community. Run-of-the-mill burglaries, car thefts and petty drug crimes are more the norm.So people were stunned when a man dressed in black pulled out a pistol and repeatedly shot Mark Hasse, a top prosecutor, near the courthouse. Fear amplified into terror a few months later when the bodies of District Attorney Mike McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, were found in their home riddled with bullets from what is believed to be an assault weapon.
