One dead, four wounded in shooting at Texas business

Police say one person is dead and multiple others are wounded after a shooting in Bryan, Texas.

The shooting occurred at Kent Moore Cabinets and the suspect, who is now in custody, is a store employee, police said.

Authorities said there were seven victims in the shooting: one was killed; four are in critical condition; one suffered a minor injury; and one went to the hospital for asthma-related issues.

“At this site, when law enforcement showed up it was already over with,” Bryan Police Lt. Jason James said at press conference.

Police said the gunman used a handgun during the incident. 

Later, a Texas Department of Public Safety trooper was shot and critically injured while pursuing the suspect.
