Texas Gunman Kills 2, Injures 4 in Rampage
A man armed with an AK-47 opened fire in the town square Thursday, killing his ex-wife and a bystander in a rampage prompted by a child support dispute, police said. The gunman was later killed.
Four people were wounded, including the gunman’s son and three law officers.
The gunman, David Hernandez Arroyo Sr., 43, was shot in the melee outside the county courthouse before fleeing. He fired at officers through the rear window of his pickup in a chase that lasted several miles, Tyler Police Chief Gary Swindle said. Police returned fire and killed him.
The victims were identified as Maribel Estrada, 41, and Mark Wilson, 52, an armed bystander who had tried to help.
