In a shocking sequence of events in Texas, a man allegedly embarked on a deadly rampage, leaving three people dead in Mabank before a dramatic incident unfolded at a Buc-ee’s in Ennis, about 35 miles away. The suspect, identified as 29-year-old Christopher Kyle Reid Jr., reportedly crashed his minivan into the store and subsequently turned the gun on himself.

The violent spree did not end with the fatalities. Two additional individuals sustained gunshot injuries and were hospitalized, while a pedestrian was trapped against a display by the vehicle’s impact at the bustling Buc-ee’s location, according to a report by WFAA.

Reid’s journey of violence reached its tragic climax when, after crashing his 2003 Dodge Caravan, he reportedly inflicted a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. He was subsequently transported to a hospital where he remains in critical condition.

The harrowing ordeal began in the early hours of Friday when Henderson County deputies responded to reports of multiple gunshot victims in a Mabank subdivision. On arrival, officers discovered a grim scene: a man and a woman were pronounced dead at the location, while another victim succumbed to injuries at UT Health Hospital in Tyler.

The victims were later identified by the sheriff’s office as Kimberly Simpson, 51, Connie Patrick, 72, and Rodney Hammonds, 57. In a particularly brutal attack, Hammonds was not only shot but also stabbed and suffered blunt force trauma.

Among those injured, Colton Reid, 24, remains in stable condition, while Henry Hopgood, 70, is fighting for his life in critical condition at a Tyler hospital.

The pedestrian who was injured at the Buc-ee’s was an Oklahoma woman in her 30s. She was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

A neighbor told WFFA that one of the shooting victims pounded on her door for help, saying “his brother shot him.”

Police have not released information about a motive for the attack or said what charges Reid will face if he survives.
