HOUSTON -- A reserve deputy constable with Harris County Precinct 6 has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

Kenneth Caplan was taken into custody Wednesday morning, authorities tell KHOU 11 News.

Caplan is accused of shooting a 20-year-old woman who was driving on the 610 Loop at Stella Link about two weeks ago.

"I feel like I got a taste of death honestly," the victim, who does not want to be identified, told KHOU 11 News.

In her first ever interview, she told us she is afraid of retaliation.

"All of a sudden I'm driving, and this guy cuts me off. He was about to hit me. I switched to the other lane, I got in front of him and I cut him off. I guess that pissed him off. He went like that and he just fired at me. And then all of sudden I heard a ring in my ear." said the victim."

Also questioned, but not charged, was the woman who investigators think was the passenger in Caplan's car. The victim says that woman seemed to move out of the way so the man would have a clear shot.

"She leaned back," said the victim.

After she took a bullet to the head, the victim stopped in the middle of the freeway and called 911.

"I was like 'oh my God, he just shot me.' I was applying pressure to my head because it wouldn't stop bleeding. I'm going to die in my car on 610," said the victim.

The woman spent three days in the hospital.

"I keep thinking someone is going to come up and shoot me," she said.

The victim has eight staples in her head but God was watching out for her.

"He heard me and knew that I was sincere and he gave me a second chance." said the victim.

Police say the investigation is not over yet.

Neighbors of the suspect say there was always something weird about him.

"He always comes off as a strong attitude. He is never nice," said one neighbor.

The Harris County Constable's Office Pct. 6 says it cooperated with the investigation of the incident, and Caplan was not on duty at the time of the incident.

"The Harris County Constable's Office – Precinct 6 neither condones nor tolerates the actions taken by Kenneth Caplan that connected him to this incident, and the necessary measures were taken to collect his credentials and remove him from our status," authorities wrote in a press release.

In Houston, traffic is indeed crazy. You get use to it.

I have one question though. What does it take to charge someone with attempted murder? I mean he shot at her Head. Any closer and it would be successful murder. Is it because one is easier to prove than the other?

 

Angry people, no matter the profession, should not be driving, nor should the have a gun. I recall a woman who told the story of her road rage that had her doing a lot of community service. She was cut off. So, she follwed the vehicle to the driver's home. When the driver got out, she stepped on the gas and rammed the vehicle in the driveway.

This woman was really lucky(blessed) surviving a shot like that. That cop should be on "The Rubber Gun Squad."

 

Damn pigs shooting at white women now, you know they're off the chain

 

Lol

 

And how much do you want to bet not a single person will make it her fault and dude will absolutely lose his job.

 

He will be fine.....he will tell everyone "she reached for my gun and i feared for my life"

 

Dude was jacked on steroids and judicial immunity.

 

These assholes do this shit because they know they can get away with it.

Wouldn't it be amazing if mandating that all POs have a uniform mounted minicam on their person at all times eliminates the majority of police brutality incidents since there will be an automatic visual history???:smt067

For once it would be refreshing to know these pricks can't just make up any ol' story and have the courts treat their word like the infallible truth of God.:smt026

 

Body cameras won't bring justice...they just killed a man with cameras on them and got away with it.

Strip them of their immunity and send them to prison when they kill..then it will stop.

 

Ding ding ding. That's too logical though.
