COPPERAS COVE, Texas (KWTX) – An off-duty Copperas Cove police officer who fired eight shots at a woman (shown above, with bullet riddled truck in background) Sunday afternoon, striking her repeatedly, as the result of an apparent road rage incident resigned after he was named in a felony warrant Thursday and then turned himself in to the Coryell County Sheriff’s Office.

Officer Eric Anthony Stoneburner, 45, is charged with aggravated assault/serious bodily injury/use of deadly weapon in the shooting Sunday that sent Lacresha Murray to Scott & White Medical Center in Temple with non-life-threatening injuries.

His name did not appear on the Coryell County Jail’s online roster Friday morning.

Texas Rangers are investigating the shooting, about which few details were released Friday, but Copperas Cove police Chief Eddie Wilson said state investigators have “video that is being held as evidence.”
