A gunman randomly firing from his pickup truck killed one person and wounded five, including the sheriff of Concho County, Texas, on Sunday before the suspect was killed in a shootout with law enforcement, officials said. Authorities recovered an assault rifle, a handgun and hundreds of rounds of ammunition from the suspect, who was said to be 23 years old and from North Carolina. The name was withheld pending notification of relatives, the Texas Department of Public Safety said in a statement.
At 4:38 a.m., Brady PD received a 911 call that a couple had been shot at Stripes Convenience Store on the north side of Brady. Officers responded and by the time they arrived, the couple had already driven themselves to the local ER. Both individuals were treated and released with minor injuries.
Upon subseqent investigation, it was determined that the assailant had also been involved in other shootings in Concho County.
A suspect in a vehicle matching the description of the one at the Brady shooting was later killed in Concho County following a traffice stop by DPS, game wardens and the Concho County Sheriff. The Concho County Sheriff was wounded during the stop and the suspect was killed.

I think you guys in America should ban pick-up trucks, since if he didn't have a pick-up truck, none of this violence would have occurred.

It's funny how whenever there's a shooting spree in the east or west coast some assclown always comes along and says, "Heh! Try pulling something like that off in Texas where everybody haz gunz."
Well, I guess this guy did.
Just goes to show you how guns don't protect you from people with guns.

Yep. Without that pickup truck the gun just doesn't fire bullets.
Good call, I'm amazed no one else has said it.
The pick up truck was the obvious catalyst in all of this. Ban pick up trucks.
And hey, melt them down and make more guns!! Yahoo!!
from op link. and im willing to bet it was the game warden that poped him not the highway patrol as i have yet to meet a game warden that is a bad shot
The gunman was killed in a shootout with a Highway Patrol trooper and game warden who arrived to assist the sheriff, the statement said.

The first incident took place about 4:30 a.m. when the suspect opened fire on vehicle near Eden, wounding a woman, who was later hospitalized in San Angelo, the statement said. The suspect wounded two more people a short time later as they sat in their vehicle outside a convenience store in Brady, and then returned to Eden, where he fired on another vehicle and wounded another person. Those three were treated and released.
