Another U.S. shooting attack: A man was killed and four were seriously injured when an armed man opened fire at a furniture factory in the southeastern state of Bryan.
According to the suspect, the shooter worked at the factory where the shooting took place and quarreled with the owner of the place.
In addition to the four seriously injured, a police officer was moderately wounded by gunfire after there was a chase after the suspect and Hela fired at him.
The suspect managed to escape from the shooting scene but was caught and subsequently arrested.
Brian Police Chief Eric Bosque said the suspect used the gun and that he acted alone.
The police chief added that it is not known how long the suspect worked in the factory and that at this stage his identity will not be published.
Amelia Rodriguez, a furniture factory worker, told CNN: "I heard some muffled explosions. I thought the machine broke down again, but then someone grabbed my shoulder and told me we had to run away. I hid for ten minutes in a very crowded space with other workers. I was lucky. ".
This is the second shooting incident in the United States last week after four people were killed last Saturday, including a child, when an armed man opened fire in the city of Orange, California.
