   BRYAN, Texas -- A man accused of opening fire Thursday at a   
   Texas cabinet-making company where he worked, killing one person   
   and wounding five others before shooting and wounding a state   
   trooper, has been identified as 27-year-old Larry Bollin.   
      
   According to the Bryan Police Department, Bollin has since been   
   charged with murder and is being held on a $1 million bond.   
      
   Bryan Police Chief Eric Buske told reporters he believes Bollin   
   is an employee at the Kent Moore Cabinets location where the   
   shooting happened. He said investigators believe Bollin was   
   solely responsible for the attack, which happened around 2:30   
   p.m., and that he was gone by the time officers arrived.   
      
   Four of the five people who were wounded at the business were   
   hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said. During the   
   manhunt for Bollin, he shot and wounded a state trooper, who was   
   hospitalized in serious but stable condition, the Texas   
   Department of Public Safety said on Twitter.   
      
   A DPS Trooper was shot while pursuing an individual suspected of   
   being involved in the shooting in Bryan. He remains in serious   
   but stable condition. ??????

   "We want to thank the hospital and the doctors and the nurses   
   who have just given phenomenal care to him," said DPS   
   spokesperson Lt. Craig Cummings during an evening update.   
      
   The trooper was not immediately identified.   
      
   Grimes County Sheriff Don Sowell said about two hours after the   
   attack, Bollin was arrested in Bedias, a tiny community about 25   
   miles northeast of Bryan.   
      
   Bryan is located in the shadow of Texas A&M University and about   
   100 miles northwest of Houston. With more than 86,000 residents,   
   it is the seat of Brazos County.   
      
   Investigators were still trying to determine the motive for the   
   attack, authorities said.   
      
   The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives sent   
   agents and dogs to the shooting scene, said spokesman Deon   
   Washington. Police asked people to stay away from the business   
   during the investigation.   
      
   The company, which makes custom cabinets, has design centers in   
   nearly a dozen Texas cities and employs more than 600 people,   
   according to its website.   
      
   Texas Gov. Greg Abbott offered prayers for shooting victims and   
   their families.   
      
   "I have been working closely with the Texas Department of Public   
   Safety and the Texas Rangers as they assist local law   
   enforcement on a swift response to this criminal act. Their   
   efforts led to the arrest of the shooting suspect."   
      
   Kent Moore Cabinets also offered its prayers with the following   
   statement:   
      
   "Our hearts are hurting.   
      
   We're all devastated by the tragic events at our Stone City   
   manufacturing plant in Bryan on Thursday. Our thoughts are with   
   our workers and their families, and we ask that you join us in   
   keeping everyone touched by this tragedy in your thoughts (and   
   prayers).   
      
   We are fully cooperating with the police who are investigating   
   this horrible crime. We're thankful that law enforcement   
   officers responded so quickly and are so appreciative of the   
   critical medical care that paramedics provided to our coworkers.   
      
   Our focus now is on our employees and their families during this   
   most difficult time, and we hope you understand we are not able   
   to respond to your comments. Your concern and kind words are   
   deeply appreciated."   
      
   Investigators said the names of the victims will be released   
   Friday, April 9.
