The
gunman involved in the recent deadly shooting near Texas A&M may have been
dealing with some mental health issues. Former criminal defense attorney W.
Tyler Moore, an attorney for the family of the shooter, would not elaborate
Tuesday on what type of mental problems Thomas Alton Caffall III had, stating
only that he “wasn’t the same kid that he used to be,” and that he had “known
him since he was 4 years old.” The attorney’s comments come on the heels of
Monday’s deadly shooting, which began when Brazos County Constable Brian
Bachmann approached Caffall’s rental home to deliver a notice for Caffall to
appear in court on August 23 due to a total of $1250 he owed in back rent.
Bachmann’s
death has been ruled a homicide, as law enforcement officials believe he was
gunned down by Caffall as he approached the home. Police have indicated that
Caffall was in possession of multiple weapons, fired several times Monday, and
was fatally wounded by officers responding to reports of gunfire. Police have
yet to say whose gunfire struck 6 other people, including a bystander and
another constable who both died from gunshot wounds. College Station Police
Chief Jeff Capps said Tuesday that the crime scene is still being processed.
Capps also indicated that he was unaware of any law enforcement contact with
the gunman prior to the murder of Constable Bachmann.
