Greenville man killed following alleged robbery

By Brad Kellar

Quinlan – A Greenville man was shot and killed over the weekend following a reported game room robbery.

A deputy with the Hunt County Sheriff's Office shot and killed 49-year-old Vincent Thomas following the incident, becoming the second officer-involved fatal shooting in the county in less than 12 hours.

Two other suspects were taken into custody following a separate chase connected to the same alleged hold-up.

The sheriff's office received two simultaneous calls late Saturday from Bonnie Lou's Game Room on State Highway 276, west of Quinlan.
