\"\"WOOD COUNTY – Charges of attempted capital murder have been brought against an East Texas woman who is accused of deceiving law enforcement and allegedly guiding officers into an ambush that injured two officers during a shooting. According to court documents, Quitman resident Stephanie O’Connor-Bathe is accused of two counts of attempted capital murder of a peace officer in relation to an officer-involved shooting on February 14 that seriously injured a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper and a Wood County deputy. <\/p>\n

According to arrest records, O’Connor-Bathe had enough time to alert police that her 45-year-old boyfriend, Cody Joe Henderson, was armed and hiding inside the house where they were trying to serve warrants. Henderson opened fire with a semiautomatic weapon while deputies and DPS officers were attempting to serve him with six felony warrants, according to the Wood County Sheriff’s Office. Other officers fired back after a trooper and deputy were shot. After being brought to a hospital, Henderson later died from his injuries.<\/p>\n

An arrest affidavit states that O’Connor-Bathe first told police that she was alone in the house and that Henderson and another woman had packed and left. She kept telling the officers that Henderson was not present and that she had no idea where he was. Henderson, who was hiding in a bathroom in the hallway, opened fire on the deputy as soon as the trooper and deputy entered the house. The trooper was also hit by the gunfire. O’Connor-Bathe was accused of impeding apprehension four days following the shooting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
