BRYAN, Texas (NewsNation Now) — One person was killed and four people were critically injured Thursday in a shooting at a cabinet-making business in Bryan, Texas, authorities said, and a state trooper was later shot during a manhunt that resulted in the suspected shooter being taken into custody.
Bryan Police Chief Eric Buske told reporters he believes the shooting suspect is an employee at the Kent Moore Cabinets location. Texas Governor Greg Abbott said in a statement the suspect has been captured.
By the time officers arrived, the shooter was gone, Buske said. The shooting took place in the bays where employees make cabinets. Police say there were seven victims in total at the scene in Bryan: one killed, four in critical condition transported to the hospital, one with minor injuries transported for treatment, and one with a medical event related to the incident.
The trooper was shot later in Grimes County while pursuing the suspect; he is in serious but stable condition according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Buske said a motive in the shooting was not clear.
Grimes County Sheriff Don Sowell said the male suspect in the shooting was arrested in the tiny town of Iola, about 30 miles away from the cabinet plant.
