In a press conference on Thursday, Levelland Police Department Chief Albert Garcia identified Omar Soto-Chavira as the man who opened fire on the officers during a nearly 11-hour standoff.<\/p>\n<p>The incident began around 11 a.m. local time when a highway patrol trooper, who was engaged in a traffic stop, was apparently taunted by another reckless driver. The car was discovered two hours later when police responded to a call about an armed man acting strangely.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2458646\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2458646\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-2458646 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omar-777x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"Omar Soto-Chavira (Hockley County Jail)\" width=\"777\" height=\"437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omar-777x437-1.jpg 777w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omar-373x210.jpg 373w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omar-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omar-180x101.jpg 180w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omar-260x146.jpg 260w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omar-120x67.jpg 120w, https:\/\/dzm0ugdauank9.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/omar.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 777px) 100vw, 777px\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-2458646\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Omar Soto-Chavira (Hockley County Jail)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>As police tried negotiating with the suspect, the 22-year-old then opened fire directly at authorities. Three of the injured officers have been treated and released from the hospital.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the fallen officer has been identified as the SWAT leader for the Lubbock County Sheriff\u2019s Office, Sgt. Josh Bartlett, who leaves behind a wife and three sons.<\/p>\n<p>A procession was held honoring Bartlett just after the shooting. Garcia explained the Texas rangers have taken over the investigation moving forward.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/gov-desantis-pressures-biden-to-keep-internet-in-cuba\/\">Gov.
