ABILENE, Texas ( KTAB/KRBC )- A lone plaque sits at the corner of North 1st Street and Pine street. Although it sits next to a parking lot, it commemorates a deadly shootout that happened in the building that once stood there 139 years ago. 'It was the first time a law enforcement official died in the line of duty in our county… One of the few times at that point in Texas history that an elected city official died in the line of duty,' Frontier Texas Executive Director Jeff Salmon explained.
