Police in Texas were looking for two people wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of a Kaufman County Assistant District Attorney on Thursday.

From NBC affiliate KXAS in Dallas:

The victim, whose identity has not yet been confirmed, was shot multiple times, officials said. The victim was transported to a nearby hospital where he later died.

No arrests have been reported in connection with the shooting. Police said witnesses described the two shooters as wearing all black, one or both of them possibly wearing a tactical-type vest, and driving an older, silver Ford Taurus.

Police taped off an area around the parking lot for the Kaufman County Tax Assessor/Collector, which is near the courthouse and is commonly used by judges and prosecutors.  Officers later expanded the taped off area to include two city blocks.
