Standoff in Hunt County ends peacefully

By Brad Kellar

Hunt County – An armed standoff, which began as a reported hostage situation east of Greenville, ended peacefully Tuesday.

The suspect was identified as 25-year-old Anthony Dominguez, who already had an outstanding warrant pending for aggravated assault/family violence.

Hunt County Sheriff Randy Meeks said Dominguez had held a female acquaintance against her will and had fired multiple rounds before law enforcement officers arrived on the scene.

He also reportedly fired at the female but missed. The victim may have been slightly hurt when Dominguez struck her with his hand, according to Sheriff Meeks.

After being taken into custody, Dominguez was transported to the hospital for treatment.
