Texas man arrested after firing shotgun at McKinney officer
A 25-year-old McKinney man surrendered after firing a shotgun at an officer, and police said no one was injured in the apartment standoff.
Alexis Calderon, 25, surrendered after firing a shotgun at a McKinney police officer and barricading himself inside a McKinney apartment, turning a late-Saturday call into a brief standoff in Collin County. Police said no one was injured.
McKinney police said Calderon fired toward an officer who was responding to a call. He now faces a first-degree felony charge, a charge that reflects how quickly the encounter escalated from a routine police response to an officer-safety incident involving a shotgun.
The key public-safety question for nearby residents is how far the danger spread beyond the apartment. Based on the police account, the confrontation was contained inside the unit, and the standoff ended when Calderon surrendered. No injuries were reported to the officer, to Calderon, or to anyone else at the scene, which kept the incident from becoming a wider threat to the surrounding neighborhood.
The case also fits into a city history that has long made armed confrontations a matter of close local scrutiny. City records note that Patrolman Milligan Ray Burk was killed on Jan. 30, 1970, after being shot while responding to a domestic disturbance. McKinney has also seen more recent officer-involved shootings, including a 2021 deadly shooting investigated by the Texas Rangers and another case in which police shot an armed man wanted in Colorado after a crash and foot chase.
