“The reported sniper assault was fabricated by our deputy,” Assistant Sheriff Robin Limon said at an unusual 11 p.m. news conference at the department’s downtown headquarters. Reinosa eventually admitted “he was not shot as previously claimed,” Wegener said. The deputy said he used a knife to cut the two holes in his shirt.Reinosa failed to provide an explanation for his motive for fabricating the story about the shooting, Wegener said.
