Even as the entire town is talking about the shooting death of Erica Sandante, the wife of a Los Fresnos Independent School District Police Department officer and he is being questioned as a suspect, few details have emanated from the local police department on the shooting.
Sources say that Joel Sandante and the victim were struggling over his service handgun Monday afternoon when the weapon went off striking her and killing her. It is said that the couple's children were present during the shooting.
Joel Sandante is said to be the grandson of Los Fresnos Mayor Polo Narvaez.
A press release issued by the Los Fresnos Police Dept. merely states that the Los Fresnos Emergency Medical Services personnel attended the woman who had a gun shot wound to her upper torso. They said she was transported to Valley Regional Hospital in Brownsville. Other law enforcement sources said she was pronounced dead at the hospital.
No other details have been released on the shooting.

waitin on the kid-napping story, bro?
Sounds oddly familiar, they probably were struggling and the gun discharged. Who was holding it and why was a gun introduced into their argument in the first place? They had better launch a full investigation into this one. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.
Were they really struggling over the gun or is that the story this officer and his buddies concocted?
Yeah right, "struggling for the gun".
God help those children.
Border Patrol Officer years ago Los Indios remember, wife said self inflicted kids who were there conflicted that story.
this whole incident is so unfortianate prayers to the family for strenth.

I AM A RETIRED POLICE OFFICER OF 28 YEARS AND NOT ONE TIME DID I STRUGGLED WITH MY WIFE OVER A HANDGUN...MUCH LESS HER EVER HANDLIING MY WEAPON. MY HANDGUN HAS ALWAYS BEEN OFF LIMITS TO EVERY BODY IN THE HOUSE INCLUDING MY WIFE. BUT TO STRUGGLE OVER A WEAPON...WHO HAD THE PRIMARY RESPONSIBLITY TO ASCERTAIN THE SECURITY AND OR THE SECURING OF THE WEAPON. I AM CONFUSED WITH THE STORY...WHO'S WEAPON WAS IT AND WHAT KIND OF WEAPON WAS IT? WAS IT HER'S OR WAS IT HIS'? THE STORY SOUNDS FISHY...ESPEACIALLY THAT WENT THE SURVIVING PERSON OF THE SHOOTING IS RELATED TO THE MAYOY OF LF!!!!!! I DON'T THINK THIS WILL MAKE NEWS WORTHY STORY...WENT THINGS WILL BE KEPT UNDER RAP!!!!
