Crimestoppers Going Ballistic
, Limestone County CrimeStoppers teamed up with Going Ballistic to provide the Mexia Police Department with a rifle-resistant ballistic shield. The shield was presented to MPD during the Monday, June 3, Crimestoppers meeting at the county courthouse in Groesbeck.Going Ballistic is a non-profit group dedicated to helping rural law enforcement agencies across Texas counter gun violence. Donna Carter, who lives near Richland Chambers Lake in Navarro County, formed the group following the 2022 school shooting in Uvalde.“I was shocked and mortified,” Carter said in a previous interview. “No one had equipped the good guys.”Carter said she continued to ponder what had happened in Uvalde and started asking local officials if law enforcement agencies were prepared for such an emergency. The answer was “no,” she said.Carter said HighCom Armor, the Ohio-based distributor of the 24-pound shields that cost about $5,500, has assisted her in getting the group up and running. It is giving discounted prices to the group for other donations, which have been placed with six local entities, including Limestone County Sheriff’s Office, MPD, Freestone County Sheriff’s Office, Navarro County Sheriff’s Office and Navarro PD.“Their support for what we are trying to do speaks volumes,” Carter said.
