A suspected gunman was arrested after a shooting rampage Thursday that left one person dead and five others injured in Bryan, Texas, authorities said.

One of the injured victims was identified as a state trooper who was shot during a manhunt.

Police identified the suspect late Thursday as Larry Bollin, 27, of Grimes County.

He has been charged with murder and booked into the Brazos County Sheriff's Office.

The first shooting took place at Kent Moore Cabinets manufacturing facility, where police said the suspect is an employee.

At 2:30 p.m. local time, police responded to reports of a shooting at the business, where they discovered several shooting victims. The suspect fled the scene and was later arrested after shooting the state trooper, who officials said was in serious but stable condition.

All five shooting victims were transported to local hospitals, officials said. An additional person was transported to the hospital after suffering an asthma attack.

Bryan, a central Texas city located about 100 miles northwest of Houston, has a population of 84,000 people and is situated near Texas A&M University in College Station.
