Fund established for Kent Moore Cabinets shooting victims, how you can help

BRYAN, Texas — Kent Moore Cabinets, the site of Thursday's mass shooting in Bryan, has set up a community support fund to help the victims who continue to recover from their injuries.

Seven people were hurt when a fellow employee opened fire April 8 around 2:30 p.m. That employee has been identified as Larry Bollin, 27, of Iola, Texas. A witness told police he was at his workstation when he heard several loud pops behind him. The witness said when he turned around, he saw Bollin shooting one of his coworkers several times with a handgun. When Bollin emptied the gun, the witness said he reloaded it, looked around at others who were running from the scene, and began shooting at them.

One person, Tim Smith, 40, of Bryan, was killed. His sister said Smith was a good man, who was more likely to work too late.

“He really loved working there. He was really proud of that position and the people that he worked with," she said.

As of the last update given by the Bryan Police Department Friday, two people remain in stable condition at the hospital and three others have since been treated and released. One person remains critical, according to a statement issued by police.
