Sheriff Parnell McNamara tells FOX 44 News that the shooter has been identified as 55-year-old Leon Minniefield.

This comes as the McLennan County Sheriff’s Office and Texas DPS Troopers are investigating a shooting which sent at least three people to the hospital on Monday afternoon, including Minniefield.

According to Sheriff McNamara, Minniefield shot at least two people around 3:30 p.m. Monday at a house in the 900 block of Wagoner Road. He could not say what sparked the shooting, but the victims and Minniefield may be related.
