Texas Department of Public Safety Sgt. Bryan Washko identified John Darrel Schultz of Kempner, Texas, as the man who drove through the Killeen mall Saturday night, ultimately being shot and killed by law enforcement.
It started around 5 p.m. when a DPS trooper tried to pull over Schultz, 53, driving a black truck in Belton. He refused to stop and eventually drove into the Killeen parking lot and through the front doors of the JC Penney, Washko said.
Washko said a DPS trooper and Killeen Police Officer ran after Schultz as he drove several hundred yards into the mall, running over multiple people, KCENTV reports.
Four people were taken to the hospital with injuries ranging from severe to minor, Washko said. A fifth person took themself to the hospital. Washko said their ages ranged from as young as 6 to 75 years old.
"We had DPS, Killeen Police Department and three other local agencies, officers that were off duty that were in the Killeen mall that neutralized the suspect and kept him from harming and possibly killing any more people," Washko said.
