Triple Murder Suspect Shoots Himself After Crashing Into Buc-ee’s

A man accused of killing three people in Mabank, Texas, was later found after crashing his vehicle into a Buc-ee’s store in Ennis, Texas. The crash injured a woman inside the store, and the suspect then shot himself, according to officials.

Around 2:30 a.m. Friday, October 17, deputies with the Henderson County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of a shooting in a Mabank neighborhood. When deputies arrived, they found several people who had been shot.

Three victims were pronounced dead at the scene. Two other people were injured but are expected to recover. Officials have not released details about what led up to the shooting.

Authorities later identified 29-year-old Christopher Kyle Reid Jr. as the suspect. Deputies asked the public to help locate him as the investigation continued.

A few hours later, officers found Reid more than an hour away in Ennis.

Police say that around 5 a.m., Reid drove his vehicle straight into the front entrance of the Buc-ee’s store. During the crash, his vehicle struck and pinned a woman in her 30s against a display near the entrance of the store.

Reid was taken to a nearby hospital, where he remains in critical condition. The injured woman was also taken to the hospital. Her injuries are considered non-life-threatening, and she is expected to recover. No other injuries were reported.

The investigation into the Mabank shooting is still ongoing as authorities work to determine what happened and why.
