One Dead, At Least 5 Injured In Texas Shooting

One person was killed and at least five wounded in a shooting at a business in Texas Thursday, just hours after US President Joe Biden called gun violence an “epidemic” and unveiled plans to tackle the crisis.

Larry Bollin, 27, was named as the main suspect in the shooting and charged with murder, according to a tweet by the police department in the east Texas town of Bryan where the attack took place.

Several of those wounded are in a critical condition and officials said the suspect had shot and injured one officer.

Bollin was an employee of the cabinetry manufacturer where the shooting took place, Police Chief Eric Buske said.

Officers received a call “at approximately 2:30 this afternoon” about the attack at Kent Moore Cabinets, Buske added.

“One person was deceased at the scene,” he told reporters, and four additional victims were transported to the hospital “in critical condition with gunshot injuries.”

A sixth person was taken to the hospital because of an asthma attack, he said.
