AUSTIN, Texas (API - A Travis
County sheriffs deputy fighting for
has life in an Austin hosptial was shot
tn the neck by an assailant he ap-
parently had pulled over on a routine
traffic stop, officials say.
Charles B Lacey,». was m critical
but stable condition late Thursday
night al Breckenridge Hospital here,
officials said.
The deputy , who has been with the
sheriffs department for four years,
was found lying unconscious on the
shoulder of the southbound lane of
U3. Highway 183, just north of the
Austin city limits, by an off-duty depu-
ty. police said.
John Mellon said he was traveling
north on the highway and had just
passed Lacy's patrol car when he
heard a shot fired, said Lt Charles
Littleton
Mellon found the deputy about 15
feet from his patrol car, with a gun-
shot wound through his neck from
what police say was a large-cabber
weapon.
Sheriff Doyne Bailey said he was
told that Lacey's gun was drawn and
found lying next to him. It had not
been fired.
He said authorities are looking for
an older model light-colored car in
connection with the shooting.
Lacey’s last radio commumcaton at
7:43 p.m. indicated he was removing
debris from Texas Highway 71,
several miles north of the shooting
site.
Littleton said Lacey had not
reported he was making a traffic stop
or radioed in the license number of the
car he was stopping, a practice which
is standard procedure.
However, Bailey said officers
sometimes would not call in license
numbers if there was "a lot of
chatter" on the radio and they would
be forced to wait.
He had reputation of being careful
and not doing that sort of thing (fail-
ing to report license numbers),”
Bailey said. “Apparently he did it
once.”
The Parent Advisory Coun-
cil for Hereford High School
will meet on Tuesday,
February 24, at 10 a m. in the

"I am glad it is all over,”
he said, "and it took some

The former master

win, and winners never quit.”
Benavidez never quit dur-

The Medal of Honor cita-
tion states that Benavidez
volunteered to fly from the
relative safety of his forward
headquarters to help
evacuate a 12-man Green
Beret team that had sustain-
ed heavy casualties in a
clash with North Vietnamese.
Benavidez brought the
wounded to a helicopter and,
according to the citation, "he
was clubbed from behind by
an enemy soldier" but killed
the man in hand-to-hand com-
bat and continued to help the
wounded.
The citation added, "with
little strength remaining, he
made one last trip to the
primeter to ensure that all
classified material had been
collected or destroyed and to
bring in the remaining
wounded. Only then, in ex-
tremely serious condition
from numerous wounds and
loss of blood, did he allow
himself to be pulled into the
