A Texas man accused of killing one person and wounding five others in the cabinet facility where he worked on Thursday has been charged with more charges, officials said Friday.
Timothy Smith, 40, died in the shooting at the Kent Moore Cabinets facility in Bryan, police said Friday.
Larry Bollin, 27, is accused in the workplace and that he shot and wounded a Texas troop in the neighboring province during the ensuing hunt.
Bollin has been charged with murder, and police said Friday he is also charged with five counts of aggravated assault.
The troop that was shot and wounded was identified as Juan Rojas Tovar.
Tovar is in a serious but stable condition in a hospital, the Texas Department of Public Safety said.
A motive in the shooting was not clear.
Smith’s sister, Brittany Jackl of Florida, told the NBC subsidiary KXAN of Austin that the family was shocked and could not understand why he was killed. Smith, the father of two sons, has worked there for several years, she said.
“He always sent me Snapchats from work and said, ‘This is where I work and this is who I work with,'” Jackl told the station. “He was honestly proud of where he worked, and I was proud of him.”
Of the five people injured during the mass shooting, one was in hospital in a critical but stable condition, and two in a stable condition, Bryan police said. Two others were discharged from the hospital.
Bryan is a city of just over 84,000, about 85 miles northeast of Austin and northwest of Houston.
