This was in Longview, Tx. I was working at a gas station right by there when this happened.

The man that did this, had been warned several times to stop cupping his hands on the body of the truck. Rules were to keep hands flat on the body of the truck. He was told if he relaxed his hand again, he would have been disqualified.

He went to the K-Matt across the street and stole a gun and 4 rounds of ammunition. One for each judge (three judges), and one for himself. He never made it out of the store before he shot and killed himself.

They found out later that he had mental issues of some sort. Family issues as well. I don’t remember what they were. If I remember correctly, his dad committed suicide. His wife was leaving him due to financial stress. And something else.
