Unknown persons broke into the Buchanan Volunteer Fire Department station early Friday, Jan. 13, causing thousands of dollars in damage and stealing property as well.

The Hill Country Area Crime Stoppers is now looking for the suspects who were responsible and are asking for assistance from the public in locating the perpetrators.

“It doesn't make any sense to me,” said Buchanan Volunteer Fire Department Chief Mark Hutson. “I have been going over it in my head a hundred thousand times. I have no clue why anyone would do this.”

Hutson said he received several calls early Friday monring, telling him a bay door at the fire department was open.

Marble Falls Police said Tuesday that they are still pursuing leads in a shooting that occurred on July 21.

Marble Falls Capt. Glenn Hanson said police had “received a few tips” about the incident in which an unidentified 27-year-old man was shot in his bed at his home in the 400 block of Avenue R on Thursday night, July 21 at 11:22 p.m.

“We're still working on some of that information,” Hanson said. “We have some leads that we believe will ultimately prove fruitful.”

Currently police have two suspects, but do not yet have enough information to arrest them.

“It's hard to say that they are local – they come and go, but they are known to us,” Hanson said.
