“The only question that’s left to be answered at this point is how it happened. I don’t know and I don’t know that we’ll ever find out,” Fowler said. “That bullet came out of his gun and we established that, so end of story. We’re done. It’s pure speculation on anybody’s part as to how this happened.”

That, to me friends sounds like somebody wants this story gone. That's a very defensive quote. Here is what he said before that in the same story -

“We didn’t know who this [trespasser] was and so the assumption was that it was the trespasser,” Fowler said. “I don’t know who it was and they never did find him.”

So, instead of the deputy reporting he was fired on by the alleged trespasser, the sheriff assumed the trespasser did it.

Sounds to me like the sheriffs office is circling the wagons. Rather than get rid of an incompetent deputy, the Sheriff is closing the case and sweeping everything under the rug. Time for the Texas Rangers to step in and get to the bottom of this.
