Gonzales (Texas)

Gonzales (Eng. Gonzales) is a city in the United States, located in the central part of Texas. The administrative center of the district of the same name. The population is 7237 according to the 2010 estimate.

History

Fresco Come and Take It .

Gonzales is one of the earliest Anglo-American settlements in Texas, and the first west of the Colorado River. The city was founded by entrepreneur Green DeWitt in August 1825 and became the capital of his colony. The name of the city was in honor of the governor of the state of Coahuila y Texas, Rafael Gonzales. In 1826, the original settlement was abandoned after several attacks by the Indians, and in 1827 it was rebuilt near the original site.

Gonzales is called the Lexington of Texas because it was here that the first gunfight of the Texas Revolution took place. In 1831, the Mexican government granted DeWitt’s request for a small cannon to defend against Indian attacks. At the beginning of the conflict between English settlers and Mexican authorities in 1835, a contingent of over 100 Mexican soldiers was sent from San Antonio to retrieve the cannon.

When the soldiers came to Gonzales, there were only 18 men, but they refused to return the gun, and soon people from the outskirts of the city began to join them. The Texans under John Moore took the fight. Sarah DeWitt and her daughter sewed a flag that featured the likeness of a cannon and the words “Come and take it” (Russian “Come and take it”), under which the first shots in the history of the Texas Revolution were fired on October 2, 1835. The Texans successfully repelled the Mexican troops and the battle became known as the Battle of Gonzales.

Gonzales later became the only city to send 32 men to help defend the Alamo. All 32 men from Gozasles died defending the mission. Suzanne Dickinson and a slave named Joe, William Travis, managed to escape to Gonzales, bringing news of the massacre at the Alamo. General Sam Houston was in the city to organize the Texas resistance forces. He suggested that Gonzales would be the next target of General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna, who commanded the Mexican army, and ordered the city to be burned so that it would not fall into the hands of the enemy. The Texans, along with the remaining residents of the city, were forced to move closer to the US border.

After the Texas Revolution, the city was abandoned for some time, but in the early 1840s it was restored to its original location. By 1850, about 300 people lived in the city.

Footage from the scene in the US state of Texas, near the city of San Antonio. Dozens of people were injured.

According to preliminary data, the attacker – a young white man dressed all in black – in a bulletproof vest and with an assault rifle at 11.30 local time entered the church building in the town of Sutherland Springs (population about 400 people) and opened fire.

Sunday service was going on in the church at that time. According to police, among the dead – people aged 5 to 72 years.

Although the name of the armed man is not officially reported, many American media write that the attacker is Devin Patrick Kelly, who was previously discharged from the US Air Force in disgrace.

• US Shooting: Eight Killed in Mississippi

According to the American media, citing Pentagon spokesman Ann Stefanek, Kelly joined the Holloman Air Force Base in New Mexico in 2010, but in 2012 the tribunal filed a case against him for beating his wife and child and later sentenced to 12 months in prison. In 2014, Kelly was demoted and discharged from the army.

Federal law prohibits the sale of guns to individuals dishonorably discharged from the military, but the rifle, a police source told CNN, Kelly bought in San Antonio as early as 2016, giving the wrong address and lying when answering the question of a criminal record.

The attacker’s identity has not yet been officially confirmed.
