HOUSTON, Texas -- The man charged with shooting three Houston police officers used guns with homemade parts, and he was already on police radar before Thursday's shootout, according to ABC13 sources and court documents.
Caballero is also still in the hospital, but under arrest. He has a gunshot wound to the back of his neck. Houston police recovered one gun, which had been modified to produce rapid fire, from the car that he was driving. They recovered a second gun he was carrying as he ran away from another scene. A neighbor's cell phone captured it on camera. Police believe both potentially had parts that were created on a 3D printer.
Hillin sells and manufactures guns legally. He also has 3D printers but alleged criminals want them for different reasons.
