Texas officer abducted by ex-boyfriend freed
BROOKSHIRE, Texas — Authorities say a school district police officer in Texas who abducted his ex-girlfriend let her go her moments before committing suicide.
Investigators say 38-year-old Julio Reyes had abducted 24-year-old Rachel Hillsman on Tuesday morning in Brookshire, about 35 miles west of Houston. Hillsman is also an officer with the district and the mother of Reyes’ 13-month-old child.
Authorities say Reyes barricaded himself and Hillsman in a vacant house. Police searching the area found them Wednesday afternoon and a standoff ensued.
Authorities had been negotiating with Reyes for several hours when Hillsman was freed Wednesday night.
The Texas Department of Public Safety said Reyes shot himself as officers were taking Hillsman from the house.
